Poland sealed promotion from UEFA Women’s Nations League Group B1 with a 4-0 win away to second-placed Northern Ireland.

Ewa Pajor celebrated her 100th gap with a brace in the opening ten minutes, having already hit the bar seconds after the start she netted from a Martyna Wiankowska cross and then punished an error by goalkeeper Jackie Burns.

Pajor then turned provider for the other two goals, as Paulina Tomasiak made it 3-0 by half time and Adriana Achcinska completed the scoring soon after the restart.

Northern Ireland go to Bosnia and Herzegovina on Tuesday, needing a point to go into the promotion play-offs.
