On a night when 36281 turned up at the Aviva Stadium hoping for a goal-fest Mick McCarthy’s men needed a stroke of good fortune to set them on their way to three points courtesy of a 2-0 win which keeps them at the top of Group D with 10 points from their opening four games.

The Republic whose arrival at Lansdowne Road was delayed when they had to change buses after a mechanical failure misfired despite dominating possession against stubborn opposition and they took the lead only when David McGoldrick’s 29th-minute shot hit the unfortunate Chipolina and ended up in the net.

McGoldrick later struck an upright before Brady came off the bench to score in added time but the game ended with him and the other front men Callum Robinson, Scott Hogan and Sean Maguire still awaiting the first goal for their country and knowing a golden opportunity had passed them by.

McCarthy refused to be downhearted by the lackluster display and said he would have settled for a 1-0 win.
