  1. Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    That's Ukraine's first ever goal against the Republic of Ireland. This is the first time these sides have met.

  2. Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    There was a quick VAR check to see if there was an offside in the box but the goal stands.

    GOAL - Republic of Ireland 0-1 Ukraine

    Viktor Tsygankov

    What a mess.

    Viktor Tsygankov scores just two minutes after coming off the bench.

    He curls in a free-kick from the right wing which goes past everyone in the box. The bounce catches out the keeper and flies into the top corner.

  4. Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Jason Knight starts this half as well as he did the first. He controls Chiedozie Ogbene's cut-back and has a shot blocked.

  5. Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Five of Ireland's last six games have been goalless at half-time. Eleven of their 12 Nations League games have been.

  6. KICK-OFF

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    The second half begins.

  7. SUBSTITUTION

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Ukraine bring on Viktor Tsygankov for Oleksandr Zubkov at half-time.

  8. Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Former Ireland defender Richard Dunne on Premier Sports: "It's been an OK first half. Can we give a little more and do the extra to win a game? You have to finish the final ball.

  9. Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    I wonder when Stephen Kenny will make his first change. Troy Parrott and Michael Obafemi are among the subs.

  10. Elsewhere...

    It's half-time in the other games.

    • Belgium 1-1 Poland
    • Wales 0-0 Netherlands
    • Scotland 2-0 Armenia

  11. HALF-TIME

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    The half-time whistle goes. The Republic of Ireland started brightly but are a bit fortunate to still be level.

  12. Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Time for one more Ukraine chance but Mykola Shaparenko's 20-yard shot is saved by the Irish keeper.

  13. Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Josh Cullen aims his free-kick for the head of Shane Duffy - who else? - but Ukraine clear.

  14. Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Ukraine's Mykhailo Mudryk swings an arm into Josh Cullen's face off the ball and Ireland have a free-kick. It arguably should have been more.

  15. Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Both keepers are off their line quickly in the space of 30 seconds to deny potential opportunities.

  16. INJURY TIME

    Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    Callum Robinson is offside as he runs onto a ball down the right.

    Three minutes added on.

  17. Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    A clever Ukraine corner leads to a bit of pinball in the box but the Irish get away with it.

  18. Republic of Ireland 0-0 Ukraine

    That was some hit by Kacharaba.

    Sadly for him, the experience of scoring his first-ever international goal (on only his second cap) was short-lived.

    It's a shame, too, as this game could really do with a goal.
