Goals direct from corners are extremely rare in soccer.
McCabe launched the ball into the box from the right side. It was too high for any players to get a touch and curled into the far corner to spark celebrations from Ireland’s players and fans.
Ireland is coming off a 1-0 loss in its tournament debut last week against co-host Australia.
Canada drew 0-0 with Nigeria in its opening game.
