Austria v Ireland ratings: Colossal Kelleher stands tall but Idah and Ogbene waste golden chances

On a night when Heimir Hallgrimsson's men were caught out by an Austrian corner their own set-pieces were a huge issue

HAD TO SCORE: Ireland's Chiedozie Ogbene reacts after a missed late chance in Linz.

Caoimhín Kelleher (9): Spoiler alert: this was one of those nights on ratings duty where it appears the keyboard is stuck on numbers 6 and 7. But Kelleher was always a couple of steps above his Ireland teammates. The stats said Austria were good for about 2.5 goals in Linz. Kelleher is the reason they only got the one. It seemed every forward and midfielder in red was denied by the Brentford man. Defender Kevin Danso was too. Kelleher deserved better than to leave on the losing side. 

Dara O'Shea (6): Almost the entire Irish backline started nervily so it would be unfair to pick O'Shea out. He steadied well with the group and actually provided a couple of dangerous deliveries into the box in the first-half too. Like Collins he'll have been so frustrated with the corner deliveries which mostly sailed over his head. Yet his night is probably defined by his inability to clear the Austria corner which would decide it all.
