Thanks all for your company - ta-ra.

That's a belter of a result for Ireland, who played really quite well. They might have won by more, but might also have drawn, and either way, for the first time in quite some time, they look like a team.

Full-time: Ireland 1-0 Georgia
90+4'
Ireland have got rid of these last minutes very well indeed. Georgia haven't got near Randolph.
90+2'
Oh wow! Denmark have equalised! That's three goals in the last six minutes, though I can't decide if that's good for Ireland. On the one hand they might want one of those teams to run away with it, on the other they're going top of the group!
90+1'
The official man of the match is McGoldrick, and that's a fair enough call.
90+1'
Gosh, Denmark have pulled two back in Basel, and there's still a minute to go.
90'
There'll be four added minutes.
89'
Gvilia crosses from the right and Duffy's clearing header isn't too clever, but Kanakva, again collecting outside the box, can only lash somewhere towards alpha centurii.
88'
Good from Ireland, Hourihane and McClean combining to set Stevens away down the left. He crosses low, but can't pick out a man and Georgia clear.

Final shy for Georgia: Okriashvili replaces Kakabadze, and they go to 3-5-2.

AND LOOK AT THAT! Kankava, in space outside the box, absolutely massacres a curler that batters the face of the post, two-thirds of the way up! What an effort! Randolph was nowhere near that (though of course O'Shea thought "Darren" had it covered.
83'
Ireland disappear a couple more minutes. Georgia have offered very little, but they've now got men in the Ireland half and are waiting to bring on another striker.

McGoldrick, who's led the line well, is replaced by Doherty. The crowd recognise his contribution.
81'
McClean swings a cross past the far post as Gabriel Jesus puts Braseew ahead in Prague.
80'
A quiet period, but you can sense the ground getting nervous.
77'
First contribution from O'Brien who goes down the right and crosses low, but just behind McGoldrick and McClean.
75'
Switzerland have sewn it up in Basel - they now lead Denmark 3-0, thanks to Breel Embolo.

And now Ireland make a change, O'Brien replacing Brady.

Another change for Georgia: Qazaishvili replaces Arveladze, who's not had much to go on on his debut.
