  1. Republic of Ireland 1-1 Azerbaijan

    A huge scare. Gavin Bazunu spills the corner and Conor Hourihane saves him by booting it to safety.

  2. Republic of Ireland 1-1 Azerbaijan

    Azerbaijan have a corner now. They couldn't, could they?

  3. SUBSTITUTION

    Republic of Ireland 1-1 Azerbaijan

    GOAL - Republic of Ireland 1-1 Azerbaijan

    Shane Duffy

    The Republic of Ireland have the goal they deserve.

    James McClean pulls the ball back for Josh Cullen, who lifts a cross into the box. Shane Duffy powers in a header which is at the keeper but too powerful for him to keep out.

  5. I WAS RIGHT (18:40)!!!

  6. Republic of Ireland 0-1 Azerbaijan

    James McClean cross. Over everyone.

    Daryl Horgan cross. Much better. It's flicked into the path of Callum Robinson, who controls the ball and volleys into the side-netting. Was that the chance?

  7. Shane Duffy in the Cristiano Ronaldo role maybe.

    Maybe Ireland are 'doing a Portugal' and win 2-1 in the 96th minute?

  9. Republic of Ireland 0-1 Azerbaijan

    Ireland have had chance after chance without going close. And Azerbaijan almost score with one of their first real attacks of the second half.

    Substitute Rustam Akhmedzade takes a few defenders on and forces Gavin Bazunu to save well with his feet.

  10. SUBSTITUTION

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Azerbaijan

    James Collins is on for Matt Doherty. A striker for a wing-back. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

    Azerbaijan make a couple more changes.

  11. Republic of Ireland 0-1 Azerbaijan

    I don't know what position anyone is playing now. It's a free for all. Seamus Coleman, who is at centre-back, runs down the right and has a cross cleared.

  12. Republic of Ireland 0-1 Azerbaijan

    Stephen Kenny has an emergency meeting with his coaches as they work out what changes they can make.

  13. Republic of Ireland 0-1 Azerbaijan

    If you want to know how this is going, Irish centre-back John Egan runs forward to the striker position in open play. Gerard Pique/Sergio Ramos stuff but the ball never comes to him.

    It's all the Republic of Ireland. Can they create a real chance though - and take it?

  14. Republic of Ireland 0-1 Azerbaijan

    The keeper punches away Josh Cullen's corner. Seamus Coleman goes down but doesn't shout for a penalty.

  15. Republic of Ireland 0-1 Azerbaijan

    A bit of panic from this one and the Irish get a third corner in a row.

  16. Republic of Ireland 0-1 Azerbaijan

    Conor Hourihane crosses, John Egan flicks it on, Daryl Horgan has a shot blocked. Another corner.

  17. Republic of Ireland 0-1 Azerbaijan

    Corner to Ireland now as Adam Idah is tackled. Shane Duffy goes forward.

  18. Republic of Ireland 0-1 Azerbaijan

    Conor Hourihane puts the free-kick into the mixer and John Egan's header is on target, albeit a simple stop.

  19. Republic of Ireland 0-1 Azerbaijan

    Matt Doherty is fouled on the right. The Irish have to make one of these free-kicks count.

  20. Republic of Ireland 0-1 Azerbaijan

    The Irish have had 74.8% of the ball in the second half and eight shots to Azerbaijan's one. It's there for them if they just have the belief.
