Shane Duffy: 'Still a lot of improvement but we tried to play more and press Danes'

Ireland hero Darren Randolph revealed his side were determined to give Denmark a battle in Friday night’s 1-1 draw. In the run-up to the Euro 2020 qualifier, several Danish players had had been critical of Ireland’s tactics but Mick McCarthy’s side finished the stronger following Shane Duffy’s late equaliser.

Randolph produced a number of saves to keep the Danes scoreless until he was helpless to prevent Pierre-Emile Hoejbjerg's glancing header beating him 14 minutes from full-time. Duffy’s equaliser, however, earned a point, leaving Randolph to reflect the sense of bafflement in the Irish camp about the Denmark pre-match outcry.
