Ireland v Uruguay: Story of the match

The Republic of Ireland have beaten Uruguay 3-1 in their international friendly in Dublin.

Cyrus Christie showed there is life without Seamus Coleman by helping to fire the Republic of Ireland to a friendly victory over Uruguay.

The Derby full-back, who is in line to start next Sunday's World Cup qualifier against Austria with Coleman recovering from a double leg fracture, fired home his second senior international goal on the way to a morale-boosting 3-1 win at the Aviva Stadium.
