    Viktor Tsygankov

    What a mess.

    Viktor Tsygankov scores just two minutes after coming off the bench.

    He curls in a free-kick from the right wing which goes past everyone in the box. The bounce catches out the keeper and flies into the top corner.

    Former Ireland defender Richard Dunne on Premier Sports: "It's been an OK first half. Can we give a little more and do the extra to win a game? You have to finish the final ball.

    I wonder when Stephen Kenny will make his first change. Troy Parrott and Michael Obafemi are among the subs.

    Ukraine's Mykhailo Mudryk swings an arm into Josh Cullen's face off the ball and Ireland have a free-kick. It arguably should have been more.

    That was some hit by Kacharaba.

    Sadly for him, the experience of scoring his first-ever international goal (on only his second cap) was short-lived.

    It's a shame, too, as this game could really do with a goal.
