Caoimhin Kelleher: Close to saving first penalty in shootout but got down well to deny Mojmir Chytil with the third - put Ireland in the box seat but like earlier, we didn't take the advantage earned.  7 

Jake O’Brien: Embroiled in a tasty aerial battle with Tomas Chory. Long throws were a regular threat, most notably to set up Troy Parrott’s header late on. 7
