    The last time Ireland scored a home goal was November 2019 - Matt Doherty in a 1-1 draw with Denmark in the final Euro 2020 qualifier.

    I was there in a pre-Covid time that feels a very distant memory.

  3. Jota scores his second goalpublished at 20:27 Greenwich Mean Time 27 March 2021

    Serbia 0-2 Portugal

    He's done it again.

    Liverpool's Diogo Jota scores his second goal, and it's another header. This time he met a great ball from Arsenal defender Cedric Soares.

    Portugal are set to top Group A after this second round of matches.

    Luxembourg are so close to taking the lead. Gerson Rodrigues spots Gavin Bazunu off his line and tries to catch him out with a 35-yard half-volley. Bazunu just gets back in time and claws it away before he carries it over the line.

    Have to be realistic about the republic's team 1-0 or 2-0 is a good result.

    Alan Browne makes a good run and takes it beyond the keeper but too far. He tries to pull it back to James Collins, but the ball had gone out of play first. Collins hit the side-netting anyway.

    Matt Gambrill: Vincent Thill has his own song over here in Luxembourg. He's that good. And his name is rhymed with Playmobil.

    Vincent Thill looks good for Luxembourg. He works it to Gerson Rodrigues, whose shot is blocked by Matt Doherty.

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Luxembourg

    It's a good spell territory-wise for Ireland. They're playing in Luxembourg's third but can't do much with it.

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Luxembourg

    Alan Browne's corner is good and causes the visitors problems. The ball comes back out to him and his second ball is poor.

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Luxembourg

    Corner to Ireland as Callum Robinson's cross is blocked. It's been a good while since anybody had a real chance.

    A ball into James Collins is just overhit and Luxembourg keeper Anthony Moris is off his line to grab.

    Gavin O'Brien: Ireland are dire. Simple passes going astray and a real lack of control in midfield. Thankfully Gavin Bazunu looks comfortable, and for us Rovers fans a great source of pride.

    It's a very windy night in Dublin. Some of the corner flags are at a 45-degree angle.

    Lachlan Keay: having grown up in Luxembourg I can tell you the culture of this team is completely different to what it was 10-15 years ago. These guys are here to cause an upset, and they might just

    Good keeping by Gavin Bazunu to come off his line and catch Olivier Thill's first cross. His first catch in international football...

    It's a bit stop-start with a few fouls and then Callum Robinson gives the ball away.
