The versatile Dubliner played on the right-wing last night. Eidevall explained the position change to the media after.
"It was more about rotating, we have had a really tough playing schedule. It is also about having a starting eleven and a finishing eleven, I think those are sometimes the hard decisions to make. Beth is a great player, but I think when I see how the game turned out and how we managed it, I am happy with the decision."
The draw for the group stage will take place next week.
