Northern Ireland's best ever start
Poland 2-2 Scotland
Germany 1-1 Republic of Ireland
John O'Shea levels in injury-time
Scotland's equaliser provokes a furious Poland reaction and a sea of white jerseys flood into Scottish territory. Two corners within a minute force goalkeeper David Marshall into action but the Cardiff City man is somewhat unconvincing.
Robert Lewandowski, with a rueful shake of the head, looks perturbed by Scotland's leveller.
A nervous moment for Northern Ireland as Greece captain Vasilis Torosidis collapses to the floor under pressure from Oliver Norwood's challenge inside the penalty area, but the referee is not interested and waves at the midfielder to get to his feet.

"Brilliant response by Scotland. Really well worked goal and now it's the Tartan Army who're making the noise inside the National Stadium."

Image source, ReutersWhat a goal! Steven Fletcher wheels round in midfield before sending a beautiful chipped crossfield pass to Ikechi Anya. The Watford winger controls the ball before sliding a sumptuous cross into the area, allowing the unmarked Shaun Maloney to fire Scotland level. Game. On.

"That's got the locals bouncing and if they were confident before the match, they're doubly so now. Scotland need to regain their composure but this is a big test for them now."

"It's the worst possible start and the crowd are making a hell of a noise. It's just a lapse in concentration from Alan Hutton; Scotland should've dealt with that more effectively."
This is the perfect sight for Northern Ireland fans. At the moment, your team are four points clear at the top of Group F. They have never qualified for the European Championship.
If this scoreline stays the same then confidence will be rising that this is their time.

Moments after Robert Lewandowski's shot is blocked by Gordon Greer, Poland probe for an opening and Krzysztof Maczynski finds the bottom corner of the net after Alan Hutton fails to clear his lines. Goalkeeper David Marshall was helpless as it clips the post on its way and the Scots concede the dreaded early goal.

"I don't think Jamie Ward knew too much about it. I think it came off a defender. Greece have shown nothing in the first 10 minutes. It's the perfect start for Northern Ireland."
Russell Martin is coolness personified and could be lying in a hammock listening to Groove Armada's At The River as he floats across from his central position to play the ball off of Robert Lewandowski, earning a Scotland throw in and snuffing out the hosts' first serious foray forward.
Northern Ireland's dream start to their campaign gets even better. A corner from the right is only partially cleared and the ball falls to Jamie Ward at the back of the penalty area.
He doesn't strike it as cleanly as he could have done, and it looks to have taken a deflection but he will not care about that as the ball ends up in the back of the net.
Cue hysterical scenes on the pitch, on the bench and in the stands from the travelling Northern Irish fans.

They might not have many subs, but Germany's first XI is not too bad. Erik Durm rattles the crossbar with a shot from 25 yards with David Forde well beaten. A worrying start for Martin O'Neill's side, but they survive, just about.
The Poland fans are creating an almighty din but the Scots have started impressively and are doing their best to dink the ball about and take the sting out of the passionate home fans and the white jerseys snapping at their heels.

"There's a scout from Romania here who I spoke to - he believes they will get a good game against Northern Ireland next month.
"I expected Greece to come out and put us under a lot of pressure, but it's been so quiet."
Germany and Chelsea winger Andre Schurrle, out of tonight's game with flu, tweets:, external Very sad I can't play today, but wishing my boys all the best. Come on Germany.
Scotland defender Russell Martin arrows a long ball downfield, like an NFL quarterback spotting an open wide receiver, but his pass evades the galloping Steven Fletcher.
"Don't give anything away too early," advises former Scotland international Willie Miller on BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound.
And we are under way. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland have made encouraging starts to their campaigns. Can they all maintain that tonight.
