Australia and Republic of Ireland in cagey 0-0 start

A quiet enough start inside Stadium Australia with both sides yet to settle into the game.

The cohost was expected to win this easily, but Ireland is in no mood to just lie down.

Ireland's Katie McCabe and Australia's Hayley Raso exchanged some tasty challenges which have caught the eye of the referee in the opening 20 minutes.

Neither side has yet to create a real chance.
