  1. We're done

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    Oh look that was terrible. I can't even be bothered talking about it any more. I'm only joking. Although I am finishing this live text now.

    Scotland won so maybe my Scottish colleagues are happier. Check out their live text.

    Bye.

  2. Post update

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    Friday will mark three years since Ireland's last competitive home win.

    That is horrific whichever way you look at it.

    That win was a 2-0 win over Gibraltar by the way.

  3. Results from elsewhere

    All tonight's Nations League games are over now.

    • Belgium 6-1 Poland
    • Wales 1-2 Netherlands
    • Scotland 2-0 Armenia

    The Republic of Ireland have now played 12 Nations League games over four years and won none of them.

    They have only scored two goals.

  5. FULL-TIME

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    Ten competitive home games without a win for the Republic of Ireland.

    Yet another disappointing night at the Aviva Stadium.

    A nice moment for Ukraine though

  6. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    Ukraine almost get a second but Viktor Tsygankov's shot is deflected onto the bar by a fine Nathan Collins block.

  7. Post update

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    Two good chances by Ireland's standards. Shane Duffy's acrobatic volley(!!) is blocked and Jason Knight fires over the loose ball.

  8. Post update

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    Jason Knight is announced as the Irish man of the match. Can't argue with that although it always feels strange to have a man of the match in a defeat.

  9. INJURY TIME

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    Five minutes added on.

  10. Post update

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    Into the final minute. Time for a Shane Duffy equaliser surely?

  11. SUBSTITUTION

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    Danylo Ignatenko replaces Ukraine captain Serhii Sydorchuk for his international debut.

  12. Post update

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    James McClean whips this free-kick in and Shane Duffy heads wide. It is remarkable how many of Ireland's chances fall on Duffy's head.

  13. Post update

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    Ireland are getting a few free-kicks around the box now. This latest one they're about to take is 35 yards out.

  14. Post update

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    Michael Obafemi has been lively since coming on and wins Ireland a corner.

  15. Post update

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    CJ Hamilton gets the fans on their feet with some good wing play but he's tackled as he enters the box - and Josh Cullen fires wide from long range.

  16. Post update

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    Michael Obafemi tries a one-man counter-attack from a Ukraine corner and is fouled before he reaches the halfway line.

  17. Post update

    Belgium lead Poland 5-1 now with Leandro Trossard curling a beauty into the top corner and Leander Dendoncker hammering in from 30 ayrds.

  18. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    This is Ireland's best chance by a million miles. A billion miles.

    Shane Duffy's powerful header is tipped onto the crossbar by Ukraine keeper Andrii Lunin.

    From the resulting corner Michael Obafemi heads wide.

  19. SUBSTITUTION

    Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    Blackpool winger CJ Hamilton makes his international debut for the Republic of Ireland at the age of 27. He replaces Chiedozie Ogbene.
