One additional minute. This has been a very good half for Ireland.

Martin O'Neill just cannot sit down. He's like a jack in the box inside the technical area, pointing, shouting, even screaming instructions. It's exhausting just looking at him.

"You can't take your eyes off this match. It is not high on quality but it is frantic.

"Bosnia are just starting to find some creativity and starting to dictate the game. This is an important few minutes for Ireland."

What a take by Asmir Begovic. He recovers from his error moments earlier to pluck the ball from the head of Daryl Murphy following a delicious cross by Jeff Hendrick.

Joel Ike Ikechi:, external Jon Walters...does he get tired? No, he doesn't, he is a beast. He keeps running all day, he reminds me of Dirk Kuyt.

John Pierce:, external ROI game hinges purely on discipline, if the guys in green keep their heads then it's game won.

JavelBleach:, external Don't see what was wrong with the penalty decision. His arm was there to deflect the ball. Didn't need to be.

"What Begovic did there was symbolic of this Bosnian team. They think they can have an extra touch in their own half but you can't do that against this Ireland side because they hustle, harry and make you play with your head down."

Nearly a schoolboy error by Asmir Begovic who takes one touch too many and his clearances is intercepted by Wes Hoolahan. Fortunately for Begovic and Bosnia Hoolahan handles and the keeper's bluhes are saved.

Huge chance for Bosnia. The ball falls invitingly for Haris Medunjanin in the 'D' but he lashes a volley high and wide. His look of disgust says it all. Great game now - everything to play for.

"Bosnia need to stop moaning, it is overtaking everything they are doing in the game. They are still playing very angry. The problem is you can't play football very well when you're angry."

Bosnia's players look more interested in arguing with the referee rather than hauling themselves back into this. Not that Ireland care..

Edin Dzeko fires into the side netting from just outside the area. It's a decent effort and Ireland fans are breathing a sigh of relief. This tie might have started slowly but it's end-to-end action now.

So, Ireland lead on the night and 2-1 on aggregate. Remember, away goals count so if Bosnia level they're right back in this.

"That's a very well-taken penalty - it was a while until he could take it. Bosnia are still complaining to the referee - they have been harshly done by. They need to score anyway so it doesn't change their gameplan. 

"But their problem is that they haven't played well enough and haven't looked like scoring. Their body language doesn't look good - they feel really hard done by."

"It is a massive shout. No doubt it hit a Bosnian player on the hand, but I don't think so. First look it is quite harsh.

"There is nothing he can do - other than put his hand down his pants."

Harsh on Bosnia as the referee points to the penalty spot after Murphy's cross brushes Senad Lulic who is booked. No one in green in the ground is complaining. Here comes Jon Watlers...

This is 100mph, helter-skelter stuff. Neither team is holding back when it comes to challenges and Bosnia's Emir Spahic is the first to be booked for a crunching tackle that takes out Jeff Hendrick.

"This is not a great game. But at the moment Ireland are shading it. Down the left through Brady and Hoolahan they could have the key to unlocking this Bosnian defence."
