Evening all! So, here we go again: Ireland v Denmark. The game on Saturday was as miserable as you'll ever see and there's every chance tonight's will be the same. However at its end, we're guaranteed intense misery and quite possibly some crying, so stay tuned for everything that makes sport great.

Delaney, who was quiet on Saturday, on buzzing about in little pockets tonight, and wins a free-kick off Meyler. It goes short, and Ireland stand firm against the passing, forcing Denmark back before winning a free-kick close to halfway, which Ward pumps forward.
14'
Back to Duffy, it ought not be forgotten that this happened to him, as per Wikipedia:
"In May 2010 Duffy got seriously injured after colliding with a goalkeeper during a training match. He had undergone emergency surgery after lacerating his liver, and losing over 3 litres of blood in what medical staff described as 'freak accident'."

Larsen puts Christie under, so Duffy absolutely leathers clear like it's the last minute. Expect more of the same.

We're back to where we were on Saturday. Denmark knock it about and Ireland mainly let them, though with added jeers. But then Kjaer, whose long-passing was a threat then, drives a pass from right to left, over the head of the napping Christie and into the path of Larsen! But rather than head it, he waits and waits until it's onto his instep, drips a shot wide, and seems to injure his shoulder while falling. All in all, a fine contribution from him.

I hope Shane Duffy's dressing room nickname is Carol Ann.

Incidentally, I said this during the first game, but Shane Duffy looks a real player now he's fit.

So we can't have penalties or extra-time. Denmark, meanwhile, needed to score at kick-off and still need to score now. I'm not sure Ireland will be leaving many spaces looking for a killer second.

GOAL! Ireland 1-0 Denmark (Duffy) What a goal! What a goal! Ireland win a free-kick just inside their own half, which Brady drills towards the middle of the box. There, Jorgensen chucks a leg at it, sends the ball backwards, and Schmeichel isn't sure whether to come or stay. He comes, but he can't get there before Duffy, who nods over him and in!
5'
Sisto attacks down the left and Arter is quickly across, sliding in and missing the ball on his first go but doing just enough with a second scythe to avoid being penalised.

Denmark win a free-kick on the right, but plenty far from goal. Eriksen curls in, and Meyler is up again, the ball skidding backwards off his bonce but handily for Randolph.
2'
Kvist enjoys some patter with the crowd as he takes the throw, hurls into the box, and Meyler heads away.
1'
Larsen has a shy and skirting around the right of the Ireland defence, but Christie is there to welt into touch.

Both teams huddle; hope both teams lose.

"Sing it like you've never sung it before," says the PA man. I'm not certain the crowd needed that pep talk.
