    Shane Long is immediately involved as he gets a head onto Robbie Brady's cross but it's a simple save.

    Shane Long is coming on for Callum Robinson. Long, with 17 goals, is by far and away the top scoring international in this squad.

    I'm not going to pretend I'm particularly shocked at the 0-0 scoreline.

    Chris Doherty: Out for a late night stroll and check in on the Ireland game, not expecting to see 0-0 after an hour. Irish football from the top down to grass roots needs sorting

    That would have been some way to break their Dublin duck. Robbie Brady whips in a cross from the right and James Collins tries a bicycle kick which goes just wide.

  7. Lukaku strikes as Belgium equalisepublished at 21:11 Greenwich Mean Time 27 March 2021

    Czech Republic 1-1 Belgium

    Belgium hit back through striker Romelu Lukaku, 10 minutes after going behind.

    The Inter Milan forward picks up a through-ball from Kevin de Bruyne, twists and turns his marker before firing under the body of keeper Tomas Vaclik.

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Luxembourg

    Another Luxembourg chance as Danel Sinani flashes one wide from 30 yards out.

    The visitors are pressing the Irish keeper and defence very, very high. They're going for this.

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Luxembourg

    Ireland have only tested the Luxembourg keeper once. The visitors have had three shots on target.

  10. Postpublished at 67 mins

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Luxembourg

    Callum Robinson has one of Ireland's best chances. He's free in the box but shoots over from 14 yards. Should be hitting the target there.

  11. Postpublished at 66 mins

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Luxembourg

    James McClean tries a give-and-go with fellow sub Robbie Brady but the return ball to the Stoke winger is overhit.

  12. Kostic goal pulls Serbia levelpublished at 21:08 Greenwich Mean Time 27 March 2021

    Serbia 2-2 Portugal

    What a turnaround at the Rajko Mitic Stadium.

    Serbia were 2-0 down but have levelled following an effort from Eintracht Frankfurt's Filip Kostic. There are 30 minutes of this match to go.

    BRFC Roy: Ireland are trying to play pretty football but don't have the players to do it, to beat this Luxembourg team they need to use the wings, and pump balls down the channels like the teams of #BigJack did

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Luxembourg

    Vincent Thill is offside as he heads towards goal but he's denied by that man Gavin Bazunu anyway.

  16. Postpublished at 62 mins

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Luxembourg

    Vincent Thill goes close for Luxembourg again and Gain Bazunu denies him. Thill barges his way through, has a shot blocked, gets it back and then shoots at the Irish keeper.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 61 mins

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Luxembourg

    The back five is surely done now as James McClean replaces Ciaran Clark.

    Not sure Ireland fans thought they'd ever be so desperate for a goal against Luxembourg.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 60 mins

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Luxembourg

    Luxembourg players love a foul on Alan Browne. Captain Laurent Jans goes into the book for fouling the RWB.

    It's Slovakia 2-2 Malta now.
