90'
There will be a minimum of four minutes added time, as Pukki is replaced by Rasmus Karjalainen.
88'

EXCELLENT SAVE! Pukki rides a couple of challenges and scoops a pass to Ahlo on the right of the Irish area. Ahlo cuts back onto his left foot and Randolph tips his looping drive onto the roof of the net at full stretch.
84'
Finland are comfortable in possession here, deep in the Irish half. Have the home side got anything left?
81'
CLOSE! More good, intricate play from Finland here. Jensen finds Kamara near the edge of the area, and a lovely little flick opens up a shooting chance for Pukki, who drags his shot inches wide with Randolph beaten.

The final substitution for Ireland as James McClean replaces Connolly.
77'
Jensen holds the ball up well and feeds it to Taylor. He runs it all the way into the Irish area and clubs a shot at the near post, which Randolph turns around the post for a corner.
75'
Finland break and Kamara tries to play Pukki through on goal, but an excellent sliding challenge from Egan clears the danger.
74'
A spell of possession for Finland now as they try to take the sting out of these frantic recent minutes.
72'
CHANCE! End to end stuff now. Ahlo's low cross finds Pukki in the area, but he flicks a first time shot straight at Randolph from 12 yards out.
70'
GOOD SAVE! A stunning pass from the outside of Doherty's foot puts Robinson through on the right of the Finnish area. He blasts an angled drive at Hradecky, who parries the ball away to safety.
69'
Connolly cuts in from the left, and shoots low from the edge of the area but straight at Hradecky.
68'
CHANCE! Ireland rob FInland as they try to play out again and only a superb recovery tackle blocks a shot from McGoldrick from 12 yards out.
67'
CHANCE! Robinson swings in a beautiful ball from the right, but McGoldrick misses the ball completely with his head and then Connolly air shots a volley behind him from six yards. What a chance.
66'
Molumby has been booked for Ireland, as David McGoldrick replaces Idah for the Irish. It took Jensen just 18 seconds to come on and score here.
