    Bosnia will go first v Northern Ireland.

    And it is that man Miralem Pjanic who has the ball in his hands.

    Slovakia will go first v Republic of Ireland.

  5. Postpublished at 22:18 British Summer Time 8 October 2020

    Ok, so it will be carnage if we goalflash BOTH penalty shootouts.

    With that in mind, I'll have full eyes on Bosnia-Herzegovina v Northern Ireland and drop in updates from Slovakia v Republic of Ireland.

    Happy with that plan?

    Two subs being subbed off.

    Jordan Jones off and Conor Washington on.

    Liam Boyce replaces Jordan Thompson.

    Northern Ireland have never previously been involved in a penalty shootout.

  10. Postpublished at 22:12 British Summer Time 8 October 2020

    Into the final minute in both games here.

    Are we in for some late, LATE drama??

  11. Postpublished at 22:11 British Summer Time 8 October 2020

    Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-1 Northern Ireland

    If I was a betting man I would put all my money on Miralem Pjanic converting in the shootout.

  12. Postpublished at 22:10 British Summer Time 8 October 2020

    Five to go.

    Time to start looking at those penalty takers.

  13. CLOSE!published at 22:09 British Summer Time 8 October 2020

    Slovakia 0-0 Republic of Ireland

    Robbie Brady steps up and curls a delightful free-kick which ripples the net...but from the wrong side.

    Thought that was in for a second!

  14. Postpublished at 22:08 British Summer Time 8 October 2020

    Slovakia 0-0 Republic of Ireland

    The Republic have a free-kick 30 yards out after Marek Hamsik tugs back Callum O'Dowda on the charge.

  15. Postpublished at 22:07 British Summer Time 8 October 2020

    Slovakia 0-0 Republic of Ireland

    Matt Doherty stretches it off and can continue.

  16. Postpublished at 22:06 British Summer Time 8 October 2020

    Slovakia 0-0 Republic of Ireland

    Looks like a hamstring problem for Matt Doherty.

    Are the Amazon cameras still with Jose Mourinho?

  17. Postpublished at 22:05 British Summer Time 8 October 2020

    Scotland in extra time too but they've got their own live text.

  18. Postpublished at 22:04 British Summer Time 8 October 2020

    10 to go.

    Double shootout drama very much on the cards.

  19. CLOSE!published at 22:00 British Summer Time 8 October 2020

    Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-1 Northern Ireland

    Could easily have gone in but Jordan Jones' shot deflects off a Bosnia defender and loops over the bar.

  20. KICK-OFFpublished at 21:59 British Summer Time 8 October 2020

    Winner please lads.

    Can't be dealing with a double shootout.
