    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    That would have been Taras Kacharaba's first Ukraine goal. This is only his second cap.

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    A big let-off for Ireland. There is a VAR check and Artem Dovbyk was deemed offside as he ran onto a ball down the left. There was a slight argument that the goalscorer pushed Jason Knight too.

    So it's back to 0-0.

    Lovely goal!

    Artem Dovbyk gets down the byeline and whips in a cross. Taras Kacharaba lets it bounce 20 yards out and then hits a stunning looping shot over the keeper into the top corner.

    Ireland have never taken the lead in the Nations League - and never scored at home in it.

    Quite a while has passed now so VAR obviously didn't seem it a penalty.

    A replay shows a coming together of legs with Valerii Bondar. You have seen them given. But not today.

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Oh hello. Callum Robinson goes down in the box but the referee says no penalty. Let's see if VAR will review it. We haven't seen a replay yet.

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Great defending by Ireland defender Shane Duffy to block Ukraine captain Serhii Sydorchuk's shot.

    Now Oleksandr Zubkov's long-range shot is held by Caoimhin Kelleher.

    The boys in green are holding on a bit now.

    There's been another goal. Scotland lead Armenia 1-0.

    Anthony Ralston has scored on his first start for the national team.

    That's in Ireland's group.

    We have our first goal of the night anywhere and it's in Belgium. Robert Lewandowksi has just half-volleyed Poland into a 1-0 lead with an expert control and finish.

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Quite a few times now a Ukraine player has got the ball in midfield and been able to run forward and shoot. This time it's Artem Dovbyk, who drags his effort wide.

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Great play by Irish forward Chiedozie Ogbene to spin his man on the wing and run towards the box before seeing a shot blocked.

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Good defending by Nathan Collins to read the danger of a through ball, clear it and get fouled in the process.

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    The Republic of Ireland have only lost two of their last 17 home matches in all competitions (W6 D9) and are unbeaten in their last six (W2 D4).

    All Ukraine now. Mykhailo Mudryk gets the ball on the left, cuts into the box and then pokes the ball wide on the stretch. Not sure if that was a shot or a pass. A let-off either way.

    No goals in any of tonight's four Nations League games yet.

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Ukraine are over their shaky start and are starting to match the Irish and maybe even get on top.

    Mykola Shaparenko heads wide from Vitalii Mykolenko's cross.

    Mykolenko goes alone this time but drills a shot wide from outside the box.

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    CR7 (that's Callum Robinson) runs down the left wing and hooks in a cross which flies over the bar.

  18. Postpublished at 20:00 British Summer Time 8 June 2022

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    The Republic of Ireland have won just two of their last 20 competitive matches (D10 L8), with both of those victories coming away from home.

    Ireland have gone nine competitive matches without winning at home, never going on a longer run.

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Good spell for Ukraine as Mykhailo Mudryk gets the ball near the centre circle, runs past a couple of green jerseys and blasts a shot over from 25 yards.
