There was such a roar went that went in. The whole atmosphere has changed.

That's a goal and an assist for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic by the way.

Slovakia are 2-0 up against Cyprus in Group H where Croatia are also 2-0 up against Slovenia and sit top of that group ahead of Russia on goal difference.

Miralem Pjanic scored a penalty for his side Bosnia-Herzegovina to draw level with Kazakhstan in Group D.

And Faroe Islands are 2-1 up against Moldova in Group F's minnow-off.

Oh and the Netherlands are now 5-0 up against Turkey thanks to Guus Til.

Apart from the Netherlands, most of those results are really of no consequence in relation to World Cup qualification.

I'll never understand this. So many Irish goals come from corners, but they play this short and don't get it into the box. Serbia counter and Gavin Bazunu is needed to save Ireland again.

A huge roar as Ireland win their first corner with six minutes to go.

Serbia bring on Nemanja Maksimovic for captain Dusan Tadic.

Aleksandar Mitrovic gets the armband.

Flag goes up so it wouldn't have counted but another Gavin Bazunu save. This time to deny Aleksandar Mitrovic's volley from Luka Jovic's knockdown.

The Irish are having to take risks now. Andrew Omobamidele comes forward and finds Daryl Horgan but his first touch is poor and the chance is gone.

Serbia could have scored a hatful tonight. Dusan Tadic whips in a free-kick from the left which Sergej Milinkovic-Savic sends wide with a bullet header.

Two more Irish changes. James Collins and Conor Hourihane replace Adam Idah and Jeff Hendrick.

Gavin Bazunu finally makes a mistake but James McClean bails him out.

Bazunu rushes to the corner of his box as Nemanja Radonjic pokes the ball past him. He'd have an empty net if McClean wasn't sliding in to stop him.

Callum Robinson hasn't been very involved since coming on and he handles the ball as he tries to get it under control.

Excellent from Matt Doherty to stop Aleksandar Mitrovic in the box but then as the Irish try to counter Daryl Horgan's ball is beyond Doherty on the right.

Maybe the second one was a defensive clearance just before the keeper got there.

One of the few times Ireland send numbers forward Serbia counter and Nemanja Radonjic is denied twice by a Gavin Bazunu double save. Heroic from the Irish teenager.

If you want an indication of the difference in calibre of the teams, that double sub was a Real Madrid and Benfica player on for two Serie A players.

Ireland's change a few minutes ago was West Brom and Wycombe for Anderlecht and St Mirren.

Serbia replace Filip Djuricic and Dusan Vlahovic with Luka Jovic and Nemanja Radonjic.

Excellent defending by full debutant Andrew Omobamidele to tackle Dusan Vlahovic in the box.

Adam Idah is doing an excellent job in closing the keeper and defenders down - in the rare times it's in that area of the pitch.

A double change for the Republic as Jayson Molumby and Daryl Horgan replace Josh Cullen and Jamie McGrath.

Horgan caused some problems when he came on against Azerbaijan.
