Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of the Republic of Ireland versus Finland in Group B4 of the UEFA Nations League. Teams to follow shortly.

A long bout of patient possession by Ireland, which eventually leads to a free kick in the bottom left corner.

Kamara has been impressive so far. He robs Brady deep in his own half and Finland break. Hamalainen eventually gets it on the right and crosses for Puhjanpalo, who can only manufacture an air shot as the ball flies past him near the penalty spot.

Doherty finds Idah with a lovely ball down the right. Idah gets to the byline and hooks a cross in, but it clears everyone and drifts away from danger.

A nice spell of possession for Ireland, but it keeps breaking down as soon as they reach the Finnish area.

A lovely move from Finland. Kamara releases Ahlo down the right, and his first time cross finds Pohjanpalo ten yards out. He tries to hook a volley at goal from an awkward height, but shanks it well wide of goal.

O'Shaughnessy, who has an enormous long throw-in, launches one into the Irish area but it's gathered comfortably by Randolph.

A half chance for Pukki after good work by Kamara, but he scuffs a shot from the edge of the area and it's comfortably gathered by Randolph.

Ireland work a short corner to Brady on the right, but he puts his cross straight into the hands of Hradecky again.

Pukki tries a reverse pass to Puhjanpalo in the Irish area, but it's just behind his striking partner and a promising opportunity disappears. He was completely free then.

Arter gets in a good crossing position in the inside right channel, but launches it out hopelessly for a goal kick.

Taylor, who's looked lively so far for the Finns, tries to play a quick one-two to get into the area but is sandwiched and dispossessed as he goes for the return ball.

Arter launches a shot at goal from 25 yards out but it's straight into the hands of Hradecky.

Pukki gives Molumby the runaround in the corner near the Irish area, but then shins his pass straight out for a throw-in.

BIG CHANCE! Ireland's defensive line is all over the place and a simple through pass leaves Pukki one on one with Randolph. Pukki tries to slide it into the far corner but Randolph throws out a leg to divert the ball away.

Connolly goes down under a heavy challenge but again Maresca waves play on. He's letting a lot go here.

Finland have settled into a bout of possession here, but Taylor loses the ball on the right as he tries to cut past Brady and into the area. That looked a foul, but it wasn't given.

An early corner for Finland that Taylor whips in viciously, but Duffy glances the ball away from danger.

Ireland work Brady into a crossing position on the left, but he puts it straight into the hands of Hradecky.
