Fighting Irish keep Euro hopes alive

Republic of Ireland U19 2 Slovakia U19 2

An injury-time strike from Steven Smith rescued a point in Saturday’s draw with Slovakia after Sam Byrne’s opener was cancelled out by Matus Marcin and then Albert Rusnak scored on 90 minutes.

That result, which came on the back of drawing 2-2 with Switzerland last Thursday, means Doolin’s team need to beat the host nation and hope the Swiss trip up against Slovakia.
