VIDEO: Robbie Brady clears fog to give Ireland upper hand

Bosnia & Herzegovina 1 Republic of Ireland 1: After the fog of Zenica, we’re guaranteed clarity in Dublin on Monday night, with this European Championship play-off against Bosnia still finely poised.

But thanks to a moment of magic from Robbie Brady, it’s advantage Ireland as they take a precious away goal into the second leg. The only pity is that, after an often exemplary defensive display, the visitors couldn’t hold onto their lead last night, Bosnian skipper and danger man Edin Dzeko responding to Brady’s 82nd minute strike with an equaliser just three minutes later.

Still, it was the small band of Irish supporters who were still singing long after the locals had disappeared off into the mist — and understandably so after a night which delivered almost as good a result as Martin O’Neill could have hoped for.
