U21: Ireland must crack Ice to keep campaign afloat
Lee O’Connor admits Ireland’s U21s will have to break Icelandic resistance today to stay on track for a first ever European Championship finals. Stephen Kenny’s side are top of their qualifying group despite Italy ending their 100% record in Thursday’s scoreless draw.
Ireland left Tallaght Stadium ruing some missed chances but can maintain daylight from the top seeds by winning in Reykjavik today. The Icelanders come into the contest wounded from a 5-0 defeat to Sweden on Saturday. They had opened the campaign with victories over Luxembourg (3-0) and Armenia (6-1).
