Amber Barrett hooked a left-footed shot wide from just inside the penalty area, Berglind Björg Þorvaldsdóttir then saw her effort dealt with by Courtney Brosnan, before Connolly’s long-range strike forced a save from Cecilia  Rúnarsdóttir.

Diane Caldwell charged down a Sveindís Jane Jónsdóttir shot but poor defending later let in Þorvaldsdóttir to poke the ball past Brosnan.

Karólína Lea Vilhjálmsdóttir’s spectacular strike then gave the home side a 2-0 victory.
