PENALTY FOR NETHERLANDS!
A fantastic ball from Gakpo split the defence and Dumfries running in from the right flank flicked the ball past Bazunu and then was brought down.

KNIGHT BROUGHT DOWN BY WIEFER
He receives a yellow card. Not that much in it really.

OGBENE PUTS IN FINE CROSS FROM LEFT FLANK
After a corner, the ball was played to the forward on the left and his cross found Duffy but his headed cannoned against Gakpo.
10'
MCCLEAN PUTS DUMFRIES ON THE DECK
He is the key man and McClean will surely have a brief to keep an eye on him. An aggressive knee nudge from the Derry man makes Dumfries and his boss very angry.

TACKLES FLYING IN THE MIDFIELD
Malen flew into a challenge with Cullen but the referee lets the game flow when he could have awarded free kick.
4'
GOAL FOR IRELAND!
A very cool penalty from Idah, sending Flekken the wrong way from the spot.

PENALTY FOR IRELAND!
What a start! The ball struck the arm of van Dijk from the corner.

GREAT CHANCE FOR IRELAND!
A terrible bass from the keeper to de Ligt and Idah took the ball off him but with his back to goal rather than look to backheel teed up Ogbene whose shot was diverted wide.

THE PLAYERS ARE IN THE TUNNEL...
Kick-off not long away now.
19:30
DUMFRIES THE KEY MAN IRELAND MUST STOP
He has a group-leading four assists in the first three games. Ake, who makes up a star-studded back three with van Dijk and de Ligt, has scored twice.
19:25
NETHERLANDS ALSO MISSING KEY FORWARD
No Memohis Depay for Ronald Koeman's side, he has a hamstring injury.
19:20
REAL SHAME FERGUSON MISSES OUT
He was the story of the last round of Premier League games with his hat-trick against Newcastle and it is unfortunate Brighton striker Evan Ferguson misses out on a chance of showcasing his skills for his country against the Dutch due to a knee injury.
19:11
KEY MATCH FOR BOTH SIDES
For Ireland only a victory will do after losing three of their first four games in the qualifying group, while the Netherlands are in a race with Greece to finish second behind France in the Group.
