Mick McCarthy: We can qualify for Euros with repeat of Danish display

“Mixed emotions,” said McCarthy afterwards.

Mick McCarthy feels that the Republic of Ireland have every chance of winning two playoff games in the space of six days next March and making Euro 2020 if they can replicate their performance against Denmark tonight.

Ireland failed to get the win that would secure a place in the tournament next summer with Martin Braithwaite putting the visitors in front 15 minutes from time and Matt Doherty setting up a grandstand finish with an equaliser with five minutes still to go.
