Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the League B Group 4 Nations League clash between Ireland and Denmark - the first time the nations have met since the World Cup play-offs last year. November 14, 2017, is a night that still causes great hurt for Martin O'Neill; the former Celtic coach could only watch on as the Irish were thrashed 5-1, at home, to Denmark - a dire result which brought their World Cup dreams to an abrupt halt. Is revenge on the cards this evening? Kick-off is 45 minutes away.

End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL-TIME
And there it is, the full-time whistle. Republic of Ireland are still looking for their first win in the League B Group 4 of the Nations League after this goalless draw in Dublin.
90'+2
FLASHPOINT!
Duffy goes down inside the box under pressure from Dalsgaard and Ireland appeal for a penalty... It's not given, the referee books the defender for a dive! Questionable decision, really questionable.
90'
Two minutes will be added on.
89'
We are into the final minute of the 90 and yet it remains goalless. Is there time for one last chance?
87'
Braithwaite with another shot from distance but Randolph is comfortably behind it. Time is running out for Denmark.
85'
SHOT!
Ireland surrender possession deep inside their own half. Braithwaite has options left and right but selfishly opts to shoot and it's a straight forward save for Randolph.
82'
IRELAND SUB: Shane Long's search for a goal continues as he is replaced by Aiden O'Brien.

81'
Delaney pops up at the back post to meet a floated cross but his shot is crucially blocked by the Ireland defence.
80'
Having chased shadows throughout the game, Ireland now are using the channels well and piling players forward into the penalty box in search of an unlikely winner.
78'
DENMARK SUB: Andreas Christensen replaces Dolberg. Looks like a defensive switch from the visitors - interesting.

75'
Into the last fifteen, will we see a winner? Ireland are playing with a little more attacking intent now.
73'
At last, that was something for the Ireland supporters to get excited about.
72'
IRELAND CHANCE!
A lovely counter-attacking move from the hosts forces Schmeichel into his first of the night. Long holds the ball up and lays it off to Christie who catches his strike sweetly but the Leicester no 1 parries it behind.
70'
MILES WIDE!
The space opens up in midfield for Braithwaite to have a pop but he slices his effort well, well wide of the target.
69'
Sisto is crowded out in the Ireland penalty area as Denmark up the ante in search of an opener.
67'
The ball is flicked on towards Robinson who senses an opportunity but Larsen is there to hack it clear.
65'
IRELAND SUB: Arter's reward for his match-saving clearance is to be subbed off. He's replaced by Callum Robinson.

Ireland are enjoying a spell of possession now as they try to get a foot-hold in this game.

O'Neill must be contemplating a change because Ireland are getting completely out-played at the moment.
