France - Republic of Ireland live updates

Giroud pushed over McCarthy and the pressure is eased with a free kick.

Ireland counter quickly and Long crosses to Murphy. It opens up and he should put his laces through it but takes another touch and is tackled.

CLOSE! Payet’s free kick is flicked on and Koscielny heads wide at the far post. Should score, really.

Coleman bundles over Payet and this is another dangerous free kick for France. Lucky not to get another yellow.

That was an attacking substitution but Kante was also on a yellow card.

Coman on for Kante for France

Back underway here at Parc OL. This will be a long 45 minutes for Ireland fans. They dare not start to dream of a possible quarter final against England or Iceland just yet.

Bodies on the line as Ireland make it to half time with the lead.

HALF TIME: France 0 Ireland 1

Ireland still clinging to that narrow lead but France are getting closer. The half time whistle imminent.

Heroic defending from Ireland as first Payet then Griezmann find Irish bodies on the line blocking their shots!

Into the first of four added minutes.

Now Rami booked for a foul on Long and he too would miss the quarter final. Cynical and deserved yellow.

Things still going Ireland’s way and France starting to look a little rattled.

Ireland starting to ask questions but Long’s cross for Ward is just too close to Lloris.

A good ball in from Brady and Pogba does just enough to put Duffy off his header and it’s a goal kick.

A long throw into the France box and Long flicks on but France defend. Now Hendrick booked for dramatics and he will miss the next game.

Payet tries to find Giroud with a neat pass but Ireland clear and break through Murphy. He crosses to long, who does brilliantly to pull it out of the sky and win a corner. Just like watching Brazil! Lloris claims the corner.

Ireland fans in really good voice. And so they should be.
