Ireland's U-16 girls were unable to build on an early lead against Spain, eventually falling 4-2 in their third match at the European Youth Nations Championship and must now face the Netherlands to keep their title dream alive.
Naomi Carroll got her third of the tournament after five minutes and Ireland had a number of opportunities to increase their lead - including several short corners - but to no avail.
Within the first minute of the second period, Spain equalised and subsequently took advantage increasing their lead to 4-1. The girls in green pulled one back in the 69th minute when Vanessa Surgeoner scored from play.
As a result, Ireland advance to the semi-finals in second spot and play group A winners and hosts, Holland, at 2pm on Saturday
