Red and white ticker-tape rains down as Poland celebrate sealing their automatic qualification. Ireland's disappointment is clear to see, but they will have another chance to reach the European Championship via the play-offs next month.

Walters is booked and that means he'll miss the first leg of Ireland's next game... which looks likely to be a play-off unless they can conjure up something dramatic in the last few seconds.
93'
Lewandowski forces another sprawling save from Randolph. The keeper immediately launches it long, but the chances just aren't coming for Ireland.

Ireland give the ball away and are caught horribly exposed on the break. John O'Shea makes a cynical foul to stop the counter-attack and doesn't even wait to see his second yellow card before turning and walking off the pitch.

There will be five minutes of added time for Ireland to try and grab the all-important equaliser.

The green shirts are camped inside Poland's half. It's now or never for O'Neill's side, who will be desperate to avoid going into a play-off pool packed with some quality opponents.

Time is running out for Ireland, but ever since Hoolahan came on they have had a platform in midfield and have looked more dangerous. All it needs is one goal...

O'Neill looks like he might just take off on the touchline. The Ireland boss is beside himself as the game ticks into the final ten minutes.
80'
Keogh draws a great save out of Fabianski, who bounces gratefully on the bouncing ball to deny Ireland a chance on the rebound.

McGeady fancies his chances as space opens up for him on the edge of the box, but his effort balloons horribly over the bar.
75'
Lewandowski strides forward, but drags his shot from outside the box. A threaded pass towards Blaszczykowski inside the area may have been a better option, but it's hard to criticise the forward for shooting when he's in such stellar form.

Glik goes into the book after catching Robbie Keane in the face with a stray arm.

Hoolahan has finally been introduced by O'Neill, replacing McClean.

Lewandowski is denied by a superb covering challenge by the last man Coleman. The Bayern striker thought he was in, but Coleman had other ideas.
70'
Still there's no sign of Wes Hoolahan for Ireland. The playmaker has been central to O'Neill's side's success in qualifying and his quality on the ball is being missed.
