Courtney Brosnan: She didn’t have a save to make until the 58th minute, and was busier towards the end than expected. Could do little about the goal and comfortably behind the other shots on target. 7
Aoife Mannion: The official player of the match, Mannion got forward at every opportunity in a bid to inject some urgency into the Irish attack. Came close to scoring in the first-half. 8
Jessie Stapleton: Played Brosnan into trouble midway through the first-half, and gifted Greece a chance late in the second. Overall her distribution was mixed. 6
Anna Patton: Ireland’s biggest threat on set-pieces, Patten was comfortable with the ball at her feet and was rarely troubled defensively. 7
Megan Campbell: Delivered a perfect corner for Ireland’s second and her throw-ins were a threat, but generally her crossing was poor. 6
Denise O’Sullivan: Carried the ball into the final third, but often ran out of room or options, on her big night captaining the team. 6
Tyler Toland: Broke up attacks and was neat and tidy on the ball. One of Ireland’s better players on the night. 7
Marissa Sheva: Another lively performance but she struggled to make the same impact as she did four days earlier in Crete. 6
Leanne Kiernan: Won the early penalty with a fine run inside and suffered a knock in the process, but her influence waned as the half wore on. 6
Amber Barrett: A ninth Ireland goal for the Donegal woman, and an energetic display. Had she squared to Lucy Quinn rather than shoot late in the first-half, it might have made for a more comfortable night. 6
Lucy Quinn: Ireland’s better attacks came down the left flank, where Quinn was positioned, but she too suffered in terms of quality of the final ball. 6
