- Albania hosted Ireland in Nations League
- Match continued despite downpour
- Ireland went on to 1-0 victory
WHAT HAPPENED? The two sides met at the Loro Borici Stadium in Shkoder, Albania, which was hit with torrential rain before and throughout the match. While the game was halted for 90 minutes, it was incredibly not abandoned altogether, making for some comedic scenes on the water logged pitch - something which Sinead Farrelly joked about after the match.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: The Ireland midfielder took to Instagram to claim she had "never laughed so hard during a game before". She added: "The conditions were absolutely absurd but we got it done." Indeed, a strike from Denis O'Sullivan in the 88th minute saw out a narrow 1-0 victory, cementing Ireland's promotion to League A after four wins from four matches in the competition.
WHAT NEXT FOR IRELAND? After confirming their place at the top of Group 1, Farrelly and Co. will be confident going into their next Nations League clash, which comes at home to Hungary on December 1.
