End of 2nd Half
90+2'
That's full time. Gatcan spoils a perfectly decent performance from Moldova, and Ireland did enough. All the attention now focuses to their game against Wales.
90+1'
RED CARD! There will be two minutes of added time. Gatcan and Arter come together on the halfway line. The two of them have a small exchange of views, and Gatcan headbutts him, for no obvious reason and has to go. A stupid decision.

Christie sends it long down the right wing, out on the touchline, to clear a Moldova long ball.

Around half an hour to go, with added time, but nothing much is happening now.
65'
O'Dowda's cross is cleared back to him from the corner spot, and Ireland have a throw-in. Christie darts into the box with the ball, beats a man, and his cross is blocked. Ireland then win another corner.
64'
Moldova are rushed into a backpass from the left, and Epureanu sends it too hard and behind.
62'

Hoolahan slips in O'Dowda on the left of him, in the box. He takes a touch, and his shot is deflected to Long, and he has an open goal to shoot at that drifts just a few inches wide.
61'
Ginsari gets to the ball on the right wing and lifts a cross that's a touch too high over the collection of players.
58'
The Moldovans are handling themselves fine now, and Ireland might not be too fussed - they already have a better goal difference.
56'
Dedov off, Cociuc is on in his place.
