Here’s how the Ireland players rated in their defeat at Turner's Cross

Not a great day out in Cork for Martin O'Neill's men.

Shay Given: Could do little about either goal. Made a couple of good saves to keep the Republic of Ireland in the game at 1-0, especially to keep out Maksim Valadzko's long-range effort just before the break. 6 out of 10.

Cyrus Christie: Struggled to contain Belarus' attacking players and his defending was suspect throughout the game. Was at fault for the second goal, allowing Valadzko to cut past him too easily. 4.
