GAME AT A GLANCE

MAN OF THE MATCH

Darren Randolph (Ireland)

This was always going to go to a player involved in the containment effort and Randolph was solid throughout – particularly in the latter stages when Ireland needed calmness under fire.

TALKING POINT

Did the yellow card factor dilute this game? Both teams were wary of suspensions and, while the referee seemed to be conscious of the situation, he didn’t have an abundance of bad tackles to judge.

MAGIC MOMENT

Short on candidates here so Cyrus Christie’s solo run that almost resulted in an audacious away goal gets the nod.

REF WATCH

Serbian Milorad Mazic annoyed the Irish camp when they lost to Scotland in 2014. He dished out seven yellow cards that night. He managed the booking situation well on Saturday but was also assertive in general play.
