Ireland 2 - 2 Italy
Heart-breaking for Ireland as Italy equalise in the last second of this game. Gnonto's effort after a big scramble in the box deflects off Healy and into the net in what is the last kick of the game. A fantastic performance from Ireland is dealt a cruel blow with Italy taking a share of the spoils

Italy pushing hard in search of an equaliser but Ireland are holding firm. Ambrosino puts an effort wide and we are into the last minute of five minutes injury time

Incredible once again from Josh Keeley!! Gnonto smacks an effort off the post which rebounds straight across the box and into the path of Casedei but somehow Josh Keeley gets back into position and at full stretch denies Italy right on the goal line, so impressive from the Ireland goalkeeper

Killian Phillips awarded Ireland's Man of the Match this evening. An immense performance from the midfield powerhouse

Fifteen minutes remaining at Turners Cross with Jim Crawford's Ireland side leading by two goals to one as we enter the last ten minutes. Can Ireland hold on for an impressive victory against the current table toppers?

Bosun Lawal is down with cramp at the moment and the game is paused briefly.

Fantastic from captain Garcia McNulty who battles and puts absolutely everything into winning a corner for his team. High fives from Killian Phillips for his captain.

Fantastic save from Josh Keeley!
Italy substitute Koleosho did brilliantly to weave his way just inside the box for his side before finding Fabbian for a powerful effort from point blank range. Josh Keeley stands tall and saves brilliantly before the ball is scooped clear. A let off for Ireland

Excellent from Ireland again. Armstrong and Emakhu to the fore again. Armstrong picked the ball up from Emakhu on the left wing and went on a trademark run in behind Zanotti before flashing a powerful cross right across the face of the box. There's nobody there for Ireland though

Ireland doing well once again since taking the lead. Italy are probing in midfield without being able to threaten too much in the second half so far

Close again for Ireland after a some fantastic pressure. A scramble in the box sees Emakhu and captain McNulty with chances but Italy stand up strong and get the ball away for an Irish corner.

Fantastic start to the second half for Ireland and they take the lead again through Armstrong at the back post. The pin point cross from Sean Grehan onto the foot of his team mate at the back post left Armstrong with an easy finish to spark wild celebrations in the crowd.
