The Republic of Ireland ended 2025 with a 3-2 win over Hungary in a behind closed doors friendly at the Marbella Football Center.

Goals from Abbie Larkin, Kyra Carusa and Denise O'Sullivan secured the victory for Carla Ward's side in Spain.

Larkin, who scored the crucial goal against Belgium that secured promotion to League A last month, opened the scoring on eight minutes after capitalising on a defensive mistake.

The Crystal Palace striker then turned provider on 19 minutes, setting up Carusa to double their advantage.

Hungary then pulled a goal back on 27 minutes through Borbarala Vincze with the striker then squandering the chance to equalise before half-time.

O'Sullivan netted a third for the Irish soon after half-time, stroking low into the corner after getting on the end of Hayley Nolan's knockdown.

The Republic of Ireland then gifted Hungary a second goal a minute before full-time with Jessie Stapelton caught in possession by Zsanett Kajet, who fired home.
