Post update
Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
James McClean's cross is cleared but is then returned into the box. Chiedozie Ogbene is offside as he heads the ball down to Shane Duffy, who air-kicks anyway.
Post update
Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
James McClean finds Jason Knight, who is fouled near the corner flag. The big lads go up for the free-kick.

Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
Ukraine bring on Oleksandr Karavaev and Oleksandr Pikhalyonok for Mykhailo Mudryk and Mykola Shaparenko.
Post update
Oh look at me, I'm Belgium and I can score goals. Leandro Trossard has just given them a 3-1 lead over Poland.
SUBSTITUTION
Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
Triple change for the Irish. Michael Obafemi, Alan Browne and James McClean replace Callum Robinson, Enda Stevens and Cyrus Christie.
Hopefully this will inject some energy into the team.
Post update
Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
Friday marks the three-year anniversary of Ireland's last competitive home win - 2-0 against Gibraltar.
Post update
Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
A poor corner from Ireland and then Enda Stevens hooks a follow-up cross out of play.
*Sighs*
Post update
Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
The Irish just need a lot more energy here. You'd think they might have the edge on Ukraine in that aspect with some of the away players not having played any football this year. But not at all.
Post update
Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
This isn't very good at all. Ukraine have a corner.
SUBSTITUTION
Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
Ireland were playing with 10 men there for a bit and Dara O'Shea now replaces the injured John Egan.
Post update
Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
It's mostly Ukraine now. There haven't been many Irish attacks recently.
Post update
Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
Irish defender John Egan is down injured now. He hurt himself while controlling the ball unchallenged near the side of the pitch.
Post update
Kevin de Bruyne has just given Belgium a 2-1 lead against Poland with a cool finish inside the box.
Post update
Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
Ukraine shoot from the free-kick from range but it's a simple save for Caoimhin Kelleher, down the middle and low.
YELLOW CARD
Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
Irish midfielder Josh Cullen is booked for a bad foul on Serhii Sydorchuk and then takes about a minute to tie his laces.
Post update
Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
If the Republic of Ireland don't turn this round, it will be 10 competitive home games without a win - a national record.
Post update
Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
Ireland have a corner and Callum Robinson floats it in for Shane Duffy but his header is straight at the keeper.
Not far off 20% of Ireland's Nations League shots ever have been Duffy from set-pieces.
Post update
Wales trail the Netherlands 1-0 with Teun Koopmeiners scoring. Follow that one here.
Post update
Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine
The Irish are on the ropes now and Artem Dovbyk has a shot blocked inside the box.
