But it seemed like it was not enough. The Irish team defended against their opponent’s excellent chances and avoided Denmark getting scored.
The second leg playoff for a place in Russia next summer is at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Tuesday which is Ireland’s home ground giving them advantage over public support and confidence. If they could use it better they could assure their qualification. Ireland had scored every game before this match. Their goal keeper’s remarkable performance helped them to avoid Denmark scoring.
