Denise O’Sullivan shines as Ireland triumphs over Hungary in UEFA Women’s Nations League B1, receiving the player of the match accolade
Denise O’Sullivan, hailing from Cork, acknowledged that Ireland still has room for improvement, despite their flawless start in the UEFA Women’s Nations League. Following their resounding 3-0 victory against Northern Ireland earlier, Ireland continued their winning streak with a remarkable 4-0 win over Hungary at the Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion in Budapest. O’Sullivan, who scored the fourth goal and was named Player of the Match, expressed her desire to continually enhance her performance alongside her teammates.
“Overall, it was a very positive performance tonight as we strive to adapt to a new style of play,” said O’Sullivan enthusiastically. “There were plenty of promising moments on the field, highlighting the team’s unity and our genuine enjoyment of the game at present. With four different goalscorers, including Caitlin Hayes’ first goal tonight, there are numerous positives to take away from this match.”
O’Sullivan was responsible for the final goal, unleashing a powerful shot from within the penalty area. “As a number 10, my primary objective is to contribute goals,” she explained. “So, it was satisfying to find the back of the net. However, it is important to remember that this was a collective effort. Every player put in an outstanding performance, resulting in three crucial points for the team. We currently hold the top spot in the table with six points. Although there is a long journey ahead, we will persistently push forward.”
For the team, the primary focus was to build upon their success in this year’s Women’s World Cup. “We recognized the significance of starting strongly and regrouping,” O’Sullivan emphasized. “As mentioned before, we are implementing a new style of play, which involves several changes. The girls have been exceptional, displaying exceptional teamwork and support for one another. As of now, we have secured six points and are content with that result. However, we acknowledge that there is still much room for improvement as a team. With a squad of talented players, our aim is to continually enhance our performance.”
