Edimilson Fernandes almost finds Haris Seferović with a ball behind the defence but Shane Duffy hooks away just in time.

Feels like the Republic of Ireland are losing that bit of momentum they had built up and Switzerland are regaining control now. They've won a couple of corners, but nothing has come of them.

Another change for the Republic of Ireland as Scott Hogan replaces Aaron Connolly, who has worked hard on his international debut.

Switzerland also make a change with Stephan Lichtsteiner replaced by Remo Freuler.

Austria U21s have a goal back against England U21s, Christoph Barmgautner with the goal.

The Republic of Ireland are scooping up those yellow cards now as Shane Duffy goes in the book after a foul on Akanji.

That means he will miss the qualifier against Denmark.

There's still danger for Republic of Ireland, though as Fabian Schar heads onto the post from a corner. Big let off, 2-0 down and it would have been game over.

Concern for Spain, and maybe Manchester United. David de Gea has just gone off injured with Kepa coming on in his place.

Callum O'Dowda, who has made a real difference since coming on, has taken over corner-taking duties and he puts one into the box for the visitors. It cleared but the Republic of Ireland come forward again as John Egan's shot on the turn is just wide.

This is the visitors best spell of the game but they really need to capitalise on it.

The Republic of Ireland are putting together some nice passing moves now, particularly down the left.

Aaron Connolly goes down inside the box as the visitors press forward but it was a good challenge.

Granit Xhaka then plants the free kick on the roof of the net. Poor effort.

Another yellow card for a Republic of Ireland player as Jeff Hendrick is booked for clipping Breel Embolo.

Nice no-look pass by Jeff Hendrick to find Callum O'Dowda inside the box. The substitute crosses but there's no team-mate in the dangerzone.

Soon after, Glenn Whelan has a shot blocked. Decent spell of pressure from the visitors.

Good save Darren Randolph!

Ricardo Rodríguez whips a good free-kick into the box and Haris Seferović rises to flick the ball at goal but Randolph gets a strong hand to push the ball over.

Spain just need a point tonight to seal their place at Euro 2020... but they are losing to Sweden, Marcus Berg with the opener for the hosts.

The Republic of Ireland have switched to a front three of Jeff Hendrick, Aaron Connolly and Callum O'Dowda. The visitors are definitely a lot more positive at the start of this half.

Callum O'Dowda is straight into the action as he draws a foul out of Manuel Akanji with a strong run down the right. Akanji is booked and the Republic of Ireland have a free kick.

Glenn Whelan swings the ball in, the initial delivery is headed away but the ball is pumped back into the box and is inches away from Seamus Coleman's head.

Decent start to the half though.

We're back under way.

Mick McMcarthy makes a change for the start of the second half as James Collins is replaced by Callum O'Dowda.
