So, thanks for your company - night.

So, Serbia are nearly there. They need maximum one win from two games, and are guaranteed a top-two finish. Ireland will probably have to win in Wales now.

McClean robs Matic and slides a square pass to Hourihane, who takes responsibility and has dig, sent low and just wide of the far stick.

At last Ireland force an opportunity, Long flicking on for Murphy, who bundles through a challenge and is presented with the ball following a ricochet. He lashes a shot, but too straight for really trouble Stojkovic, and he saves with his foot.

Ireland can't get anything going - those Serbian subs were timed to perfection, stalling whatever momentum there was. Found by McClean, Christie comes back in off the right, and opts to have a shy, dragging a shot wide of the near post. That was not so clever.
