Newcomers steal show in Ireland’s Under-21 win

Finland 0

Ireland had to wait until the 90th minute for their winning goal, but it was just reward for an enterprising performance and well worth the admission fee on its own.

Goalkeeper Joe Murphy threw a clearance to the feet of Wesley Houlihan ten yards inside Ireland’s half. He fired quickly a pass beyond the defence to release Jonathan Daly, and the big striker finished with aplomb, flicking the ball past the goalkeeper from 15 yards.
