    Their all round intensity was raised because they put them on the back foot. Let's put balls in the box and let's see how they deal with that. You build pressure by putting balls in the box.

    Parrott's magnificent strike is pretty much the last kick of the game.

    GOAL - Republic of Ireland 1-0 Lithuaniapublished at 21:41 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    Troy Parrott

    The Republic of Ireland have won it in the SEVENTH minute of stoppage time!

    It's a tremendous finish too. Troy Parrott controls the ball on the edge of the box, takes a touch and rifles into the bottom corner to surely secure the win for Stephen Kenny's men.

    This sums up the Republic's evening.

    Scott Hogan latches onto a long ball over the top of the Lithuania defence and slots home, but the linesman's flag is up before the ball hits the back of the net. Hogan was just offside.

    Where does that last 10 mins come from? Where was that through the game? You can't do it for the full 90 minutes, but we had momentum, put them under pressure and that is what is frustrating for Northern Ireland.

  7. CLOSE!published at 21:38 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Lithuania

    Dziugas Bartkus redeems himself.

    Troy Parrott turns inside the box and fires towards the top corner, but Bartkus gets his fingertips to the shot. Tremendous save.

    Wow! What a finish!

  9. CLOSE!published at 21:37 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    Northern Ireland 0-1 Hungary

    Lavery mishits an effort wide from the edge of the area. That was surely the last chance.

    Almost a disaster for Dziugas Bartkus who fumbles another disappointing Conor Hourihane cross, but the Lithuania goalkeeper gathers at the second attempt.

  11. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:36 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    Northern Ireland 0-1 Hungary

    Oh my word! How did that stay out?!

    Shayne Lavery's effort deflects into the path of Dion Charles, who can't fire home from four yards as Dibusz steps up again!

    Ian Baraclough is just sitting with his head in his hands, who can blame him?

  12. CLOSE!published at 21:35 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Lithuania

    The hosts are sending cross after cross into the Lithuania area as we enter the closing stages. John Egan connects with a hopeful delivery from the right but his header is saved by Dziugas Bartkus.

    Dibusz takes well over a minute to take a goal kick and is treated to a Belfast welcome when he gets round to it.

    We're into three minutes of added time.

  14. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 21:33 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    Northern Ireland 0-1 Hungary

    Where was this Northern Ireland side for 85 minutes? It's relentless pressure!

    Zlost Nagy looks a guilty man as he clears away a home cross, but was it with his hand?

  15. CLOSE!published at 21:31 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    Northern Ireland 0-1 Hungary

    What a save! Shayne Lavery finds Tari Hume at the back post, who does really well to head the ball down but it's turned away by Dibusz.

    Great stop!

    Not a bad effort, that.

    Troy Parrott, who has looked lively since coming on, cuts inside from the left and sends a curling, dipping effort wide of the far post.

  17. CLOSE!published at 21:30 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    Northern Ireland 0-1 Hungary

    George Saville should score from six yards! The ball is played in but his header is straight at Denes Dibusz.

    It should be level!

  18. YELLOW CARDSpublished at 21:29 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    Northern Ireland 0-1 Hungary

    George Saville absolutely empties Andras Schafer, which sparks a wee shove between Stuart Dallas and Adam Nagy.

    Both are booked, and that's four of the five players who have worn the respective armbands tonight who have been booked.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 21:27 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Lithuania

    Two more changes for the hosts.

    Chiedozie Ogbene and Alan Browne make way for Jason Knight and Jeff Hendrick.

  20. CLOSE!published at 21:26 British Summer Time 29 March 2022

    Northern Ireland 0-1 Hungary

    That's much better from Northern Ireland!

    Stuart Dallas is free down the left and plays in a brilliant cross that is flicked on by Shayne Lavery, but it's just beyond Dion Charles.

    So close!
