Since his debut for Republic of Ireland in November 2019, only Callum Robinson (eight) has been involved in more goals for the team than Troy Parrott (six – four goals, two assists).

Parrott has made just six starts in that time, averaging a goal or assist every 89 minutes (before today).

He should have done better there.

Troy Parrott has a chance to score now. Jason Knight runs onto a loose ball on the right and jinks past a defender before lifting a cross from the byeline up towards the back post.

Parrott waits for the ball to drop and tries to head the ball back into the other corner but it goes well wide.

Almost a promising attack for Troy Parrott as he runs through the centre but he runs out of steam.

Ukraine midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi runs into Darragh Lenihan and rolls around a bit but he's OK.

Look at the lads there. About 700 Irish fans are thought to have made the trip to Poland.

This is only the second meeting between these sides. Ukraine's 1-0 win in Dublin a week ago was the first.

Now we have a chance as Irish keeper Caoimhin Kelleher claws away Ruslan Malinovskyi's 25-yard drive. The defenders should have closed him down quicker.

Ten minutes in and no shots for either team yet. The early Irish chance actually came off a Ukrainian so doesn't count.

Josh Cullen's free-kick doesn't even reach the box. Awful.

Irish midfielder Jayson Molumby beats Mykola Matvienko on the wing and the Ukraine man brings him down for a free-kick.

The Republic of Ireland have never won an away match in the Nations League in six attempts (D2 L4), only managing two goals.

Their last three on the road in the competition have all been 1-0 defeats.

A couple of early touches for Irish keeper Caoimhin Kelleher, who has played all four games in this window in the absence of the injured Gavin Bazunu.

James McClean becomes the Republic of Ireland's seventh highest appearance maker with his 94th cap.

Robbie Keane (146), Shay Given (134), John O’Shea (118), Kevin Kilbane (110), Steve Staunton (102) and Damien Duff (100) are the players with more.

It's actually an Irish corner which is played short and it's almost crossed straight into the net but keeper Dmytro Riznyk plucks it out of the Lodz sky.
