Hello and welcome to Eurosport's live coverage of Sweden against Republic of Ireland in the World Cup Group C qualifier at the Friends Arena in Stockholm.

The referee blows up, and Ireland win a crucial Group C point at the Friends Arena. It ends Sweden 0-0 Republic of Ireland, and the Irish will be in good heart going into Tuesday's qualifier against Austria at Aviva Stadium.

A long free-kick from Isaksson finds Toivonen, but Forde does superbly to flick the ball over the bar. He then catches the corner comfortably.

Coleman wins the ball off Ibrahimovic down the right. A man-of-the-match performance by the Everton man.

Two minutes of additional time.

Coleman again does superbly to win the ball by his own corner-flag. Why was he not in the Euro finals squad again?

Hoolahan does brilliantly to control and find Keogh, but Sweden win the ball back. Wilson then holds off Ibrahimovic as Sweden try the long crossfield ball.

Connor Sammon replaces Long for Ireland. Larsson is off for Sweden, Jimmy Durmaz comes on.

McCarthy tries a reverse pass to Hoolahan around the area but it is slightly overhit.

A chance for Toivonen, but Green is able to clear. A good chance for Sweden there, after a break down the right by Safari and then Ibrahimovic.

Andy Keogh is on for his 28th cap, replacing McClean.

Long concedes a free-kick in the middle of the park, but the Irish defence again clears.

McClean fouls Larsson on the right, allowing Kallstrom a chance to swing in a free-kick. But Green is able to clear.

Walters win a throw on the right - Ireland obviously think they can nick a winner here.

Wilson cuts in from the left, but his right-footed shot from 30 yards is well wide.

Hoolahan finds McClean on the left, but Elm is able to clear the low cross.

McClean snaps into Toivonen, but no yellow card this time.

Walters wins a foul 40 yards from goal. But Coleman is penalised for timewasting ahead of the free-kick and gets a yellow.

Wes Hoolahan replaces the skipper Keane.

McCarthy complains at the referee awarding a foul for a Keane handball on the halfway line, and gets a yellow card for his protests.

Some good movement by Sweden, but McClean heads clear Safari's cross from the left.
