SO CLOSE!

Tyler Bindon with his first touch but it's wide!

That's bound to be that.

New Zealand win a free-kick in a dangerous position.

Will this be the final chance?

Ryan Manning gets a crucial touch to stop Mata scoring what would have been the winner.

90 seconds or so to go.

The ball is with New Zealand in the Irish half.

New Zealand have been largely the better team, they have competed really well.

Sarpreet Singh, the right winger, has looked really good and, since Mikey Johnston has gone off the pitch, our threat on that left side hasn't been there.

We're going to have three minutes of additional time.

Will these be the last of Stephen Kenny's tenure?

Evan Ferguson goes down in the area but he's looking for it and it's waved away.

Nothing doing.

Nope.

Alan Browne is forced into giving away a corner.

Can New Zealand create some late drama?

Ferguson!!! So close!

He cuts inside and tries to bend one into the far corner. It's a good save by Crocombe but it falls to Mark Sykes eight yards out, but he can't get the shot away and the chance is wasted.

It feels like we haven't had the ball in the second half. It feels like we have been pinned in.

Make that five to go.

The only thing that would shout 'international friendly' more than what we're watching is if someone came up with a megaphone and screamed it in your face.

Six to go.

We've 10 minutes to go in Dublin.

He is a really good young player, Moran. It'll be interesting to see what position he takes up, he has gone into that central midfield role at the moment.

Mark Travers is keeping the Republic of Ireland in this one!

Mata is played through after a great run. He's under pressure from Shane Duffy, but he gets a shot away and Travers has to make the save.

Youngster Andrew Moran comes on for his senior debut.

Mikey Johnston, who faded after that fast start, makes way.

They have been really good in this second half New Zealand, we look devoid of anything at the moment.

Some players out there look like it's the last place they want to be, we haven't used the ball well and we've coughed it up really cheaply.

Mata goes close again as he gets his head on Singh's cross.

The attendance is confirmed as 26,517. There was more at the FAI Cup final between St Pat's and Bohemians the other week.

You would imagine we would see Andrew Moran as well, being promoted from the U21s, you'd imagine he would get some game time.
