Poland struck twice in quick succession for a 2-0 UEFA Women’s Nations League B group victory over Northern Ireland.

Poland’s Eweilina Kamczyk had her effort ruled out for a foul on Jackie Burns but the same player did open the scoring on 17 minutes, lobbing the keeper.

Just three minutes later it was 2-0, Adriana Achcinska netting off the post following a pass from Ewa Pajor.

Burns saved from Pajor in the second half, Rachel Dugdale got in a crucial challenge to prevent a possible second goal for Kamczyk.
