    FT: ROI 7-0 Gibraltar. Keane grabs a treble as ROI hammer the minnows.
    90+1'
    Robba again misses a corner but Murphy can't get his goal. Time surely up now.
    90'
    Two minutes added.
    89'
    More comedy defending sees Chipolina almost score an own goal but Robba just gets back to prevent another gem.
    88'
    McGeady clips a lovely ball to the far post but Brady can't convert. The eighth continues to elude them!
    87'
    ROI need one more to equal their record scoreline. Can they get it?
    86'
    The corner is whipped to the near post where a Gibraltar head fails to connect. That was a decent chance.
    85'
    Good feet from Guilling gets him free in the area but his cutback is blocked away by McClean.
    84'
    Murphy meets another corner at the far post but his header is too tame and drops into the arms of Robba.
    83'
    The last 20 minutes or so suggest ROI don't want to embarrass the visitors too much and have both eyes now on Tuesday's showdown with the world champions.
    82'
    As it stands, ROI go top of Group D ahead of Poland's match with Germany later.
    81'
    Murphy meets the corner but jumps too early and thumps it wide.
    80'
    Another corner for Ireland as McClean's cross is deflected behind.
    78'
    Ireland deal with the corner with little trouble at all and begin to probe once more. Their record score is 8-0....
    77'
    O'Shea gets a vital touch on a raking pass by Ryan Casciaro to deny Guilling.
    76'
    More panic in the away side's defence but Brady is penalised for a handball and Gibraltar breathe again.
    75'
    Exactly.
    74'
    Murphy spins on the edge of the area but the shot doesn't match the spin as he scuffs it into a defender.
    73'
    Murphy clips it into the area but Wiseman is there to hack it away.
    72'
    ROI appear to have gone down a couple of gears. They really could get double figures if they keep attacking.
