Round-upInternationals: Reds duo reach Women's Euro 2025, Smith stars for Canada
Evans was in the XI and Holland was a second-half substitute for Wales in the second leg of their play-off versus the Republic of Ireland in Dublin.
A 2-1 win for the visitors on the night clinched a 3-2 aggregate result and with it the country’s first qualification for a major women’s tournament.
Liverpool FC Women captain Niamh Fahey had started for Ireland and Leanne Kiernan was brought on from the bench around 20 minutes from the end.
There was disappointment elsewhere in the deciding play-off round for both Jenna Clark and Marie Höbinger.
Clark’s Scotland were beaten 2-0 on aggregate by Finland and Höbinger’s Austria suffered elimination by the same scoreline against Poland.
Smith, meanwhile, played a leading role for Canada in their 5-1 friendly victory over South Korea in Murcia, Spain.
The forward forced the Lim Seon-Joo own goal that opened the scoring in the first half and later provided her nation’s third strike of the evening with an excellent solo run and firm low finish past the goalkeeper.
Smith’s free-kick delivery into the box from deep subsequently set up Vanessa Gilles to head home as the Canadians went on to wrap up an emphatic win.
