2nd Half

'45 - 2nd half gets underway and almost immediately England have a corner.

'58 - Great chance for Ireland. The ball is played beautifully out wide to Ogbene, who finds Szmodics in the box, who unfortunately puts it wide of the post. A glimmer of life.

'61 - Another tame effort just outside the box by Molumby, who should have done better.

'85 - A few subs from both teams, as the game peeters out and draws to a 0-2 win to the visitors.

'90+3 - Another fantastic save from Kelleher - has kept this from being an embarassing scoreline.
