Hello and welcome to our LIVE text commentary of Republic of Ireland's Group D European qualifier against Denmark. Mick McCarthy marked the start of his second spell in charge of Ireland with two victories from two - against Gibraltar and Georgia respectively - and although goals have been hard to come by, scoring just once in each game, it proved enough to see them top of the group. Denmark represent their first real test, however, and having been thrashed by the Danes in a World Cup play-off last year, McCarthy's side will be out to exact some revenge.

Highlights

End of 2nd Half

FULL-TIME! Shane Duffy's late headed goal is enough to earn the Republic of Ireland a point in Denmark as Mick McCarthy's side maintain their unbeaten record in Group D,

90'

There will be FOUR minutes of added time to play!

89'

SAVE! Ireland almost snatch a late winner! The ball is rolled to McClean in space on the left but from an angle the Stoke midfielder sees his shot blocked by Schmeichel! Could he have pulled it back to a team mate?

88'

IRELAND SUB: Callum Robinson takes the place of McGoldrick for the last couple of minutes.

Scott Hogan is preparing to come on for Ireland - a man who is still searching for his first international goal.

78'

Where are Ireland's goals going to come from? Martin O'Neill's tenure ended after four consecutive games without scoring, while McCarthy started his second spell with two laboured 1-0 victories over lesser nations. It looks all the more concerning when you consider that Ireland managed just four goals across nine matches in 2018.

77'

It's a huge blow for Ireland who had held out for all of 75 minutes. In truth, however, they had been treading dangerous water for some time.

76'

GOAAAAALLLLLLLLLL! Denmark 1-0 Ireland: What an impact by substitute, Hojbjerg! The Saints midfielder makes the breakthrough with a lovely header. He makes a late run into the box to meet Larsen's inviting cross and Randolph is left with no chance. The warning signs were there.

Eriksen is cynically fouled by Whelan, who also escapes a booking. The Tottenham forward floats the resulting free-kick into the box but Keogh knocks it behind for a corner.

WIDE! Delaney makes a darting run to the far post to meet Dalsgaard's inviting cross but he guide direct his header on target. It will go down as another chance wasted for the Danes.

69'

HANDBAGS! Larsen kicks the ball straight at Hendrick in frustration, with Coleman quickly intervening. It's all broken up rather quickly but the Danish midfielder somehow escapes a yellow card!

68'

IRELAND SUB: Brady's number is up. The Ireland midfielder slowly makes his way off the pitch, eating up as much time as he possibly can. He's replaced by Alan Judge.

OVER! Another Denmark goes begging! A flick-on releases Jorgensen behind the Ireland defence but the ball bounces awkwardly in front of him and he can't keep his shot down.
