    The final whistle goes, and what a night for Irish football! They have beatn Estonia 4-0, and surely the second leg in Dublin on Tuesday is a formailty.

    Cox is allowed to bring the ball forward and has a pop, but its easily saved by Pareiko.

    Absolutely incredible stuff. The majority of the stadium in Tallinn has fallen silent now.

    PENALTY!! Hunt surges into the box and Purje just barges him over! A stonewall penalty! Keane places the ball on the spot...
    86'
    If Ireland manage to close out a clean sheet here, it will mean they have only conceded once in more than 950 minutes of football.

    Ireland substitution: Cox replaces Walters.
    80'
    As a colleague has just remarked, it seems all the luck that deserted Ireland against France two years ago is being repaid now. They didn't really need it tonight, though, they could have done with saving it up for the finals!

    PIIROJA SENT OFF NOW!! The Estonia captain handles as he tussles with Keane, and the referee shows him a seocnd yellow and a red! A harsh decision, given Keane gave Piiroja a little shove in the back, buit there you are.
    75'
    Estonia are still probing and scheming as they look to reduce the deficit, but Dunne's head sends the eventual cross back from whence it came.

    Ireland's captain and record goal scorer has surely put Ireland on the plane to Poland and Ukraine!

    Andrews gambols forward and he is barged over by Piiroja. If the captain wasn't booked for the foul then it was for the dissent! He misses the second leg now.

    Jon Walters scores his first international goal for Ireland, justifying his selection over Simon Cox. It's a long way back for Estonia now.

    GOAL!! ESTONIA 0-2 IRELAND!! McGeady's shot is parried by Pareiko and it is met by Keane. The Ireland captain lifts the ball over to the far post and Walters heads it over the line before Pareiko can claw it back out!
