HT: Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland

Quote MessageA very different performance to the other night. The speed of ball hasn't been good enough. There's not enough urgency. We're not utilising the strengths of Lyndon Dykes - there have just been aimless balls towards him.
The Republic lead thanks to a fine finish from John Egan. It's been pretty comfortable for the visitors you have to say.
The Irish haven't given Scotland any room to manoeuvre in midfield and anything long towards Lyndon Dykes has been mopped up by the three central defenders.
Scotland have created next to nothing and have also lost key man Kieran Tierney to an apparent concussion.

And now Josh Cullen trips John McGinn but the referee keeps his cards in his pocket this time.

Not so good from Josh Cullen now as he is cautioned for kicking the ball away.

Quote MessageScotland have been forced to play it longer quite a few times as a result of Josh Cullen picking up really good positions in the middle of the park for the Republic
Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland
Greg Taylor gets a less than warm welcome to the game from Matt Doherty, who drags his studs down the substitute's calf. A sore one, but the Celtic defender will be fine.
Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland
Here comes Scotland's replacement left-back Greg Taylor, just in time for a corner.
John McGinn's delivery loops up and is easily caught by goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu.
Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland
Play goes on with Scotland down to 10 men. It looks like Kieran Tierney wants to play on, but the decision has been made to withdraw the Arsenal defender.

Kieran Tierney is getting some treatment after Troy Parrott tramples on his head after getting in a tangle at a corner. The VAR lads must have had a look at that and deemed it unworthy of the referee's attention.
Greg Taylor is getting warmed up.
Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland
Craig Gordon makes an acrobatic one-handed save to push away a Troy Parrott header but the Irish striker had given Kieran Tierney a none to subtle shove before getting his head on the cross.
Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland
Another cross from Stuart Armstrong, from the left this time. Lyndon Dykes is able to get his head on it, but John McGinn drives wide from the knockdown.

It is not undeserved. You got an increasing sense that the Republic of Ireland had a little more purpose going forward and that is exactly what played out. Scotland didn't react quickly enough and John Egan showed remarkable sharpness to emphatically bury it in the corner.
We are in the early stages but Scotland have not been able to match the display against Ukraine. They will need to find it.
That opener will give Stephen Kenny's side massive confidence, something he believes is growing as he imprints his style of play on this squad. They're starting to get results.
For Scotland, all will not be lost tonight but defeat here means victory against Ukraine will be essential in Poland. No easy task.

RTE's co-commentator Stephen Kelly is lauding the Republic's harassing of the Scots when the home side are in possession
"Ireland's pressing has been terrific and the organisation of the defensive line is really impressive as well so far."
Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland
A Stuart Armstrong cross falls behind Scotland striker Lyndon Dykes but here comes John McGinn to meet the dropping ball. It falls on his weaker right move and the volley skews wide.

Quote MessageEven though there is plenty of the game left to go, you can feel a lot of the energy has been sucked out of it here. Players have to offer plenty of options to the man on the ball to get Scotland forward.
Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland
Ryan Christie spins on a pass from Scott McTominay and tries to feed Stuart Armstrong, who is sprinting into the Irish penalty, but the pass is a fraction too strong.
Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland
RTE commentator Darragh Maloney is understandably getting a little excited after that Republic of Ireland goal.
"Robbie Keane would have been proud of that finish," says Darragh.

Quote MessageIt's a set-piece that Scotland don't clear. That's a striker's finish - puts his laces through it on the turn and it nestles in the corner.

Michael Stewart
Former Hearts midfielder on Premier Sports
Quote MessageIt's poor from Scotland let's be honest. Dykes does well to win it initially but you've got to give Ireland credit because they were the first to react to it. Scotland haven't been quite at it yet in possession, certainly not at the levels they were during the week.
John Egan
Lyndon Dykes heads away the Irish corner but Scotland can't clear their lines and the ball falls to skipper John Egan, who crashes in a low shot from eight yards.
