35' - GOAL! REPUBLIC OF IRELAND 1-1 BELGIUM (CHIEDOZIE OGBENE): Oh my, Ogbene levels with an overhead kick! 12' - GOAL! REPUBLIC OF IRELAND 0-1 BELGIUM (MICHY BATSHUAYI): A goal out of absolutely nothing! 85' - GOAL! IRELAND 2-2 BELGIUM (ALAN BROWNE): A stunning header draws Ireland level, again! Belgium continued to boss the game but 10 minutes before half-time Ireland levelled with a piece of magic of their own. One win in five is far from ideal preparation for a tournament in which the Red Devils will be ranked as one of the favourites. It may have only been a friendly, but that Ireland went toe-to-toe with the world's number one side (albeit without any players with 50 caps or more) is another clear sign of the progress they're making under Kenny.

Browne salvages draw for Ireland against World Cup contenders ... (The Guardian)

A late equaliser from Alan Browne gave Ireland a creditable 2-2 draw against Belgium, the world's No 1 team.

The home side gradually worked their way into the game with James McClean and Jason Knight linking well down the left and the Wigan man saw a 34th-minute shot from distance deflected wide. Batshuayi picked up the ball wide on the left and cut inside Séamus Coleman before dispatching a delicious curling shot past the diving Caoimhín Kelleher. He might have doubled his tally within four minutes but Josh Cullen’s block deflected his attempt over the bar. It was no more than Stephen Kenny’s side deserved – they are now unbeaten in seven outings and have lost once in 11 – after Chiedozie Ogbene had cancelled out Michy Batshuayi’s sumptuous opener, only for Hans Vanaken’s deflected header to hand the visitors the lead once again.

Player ratings as Ireland secure 2-2 draw with Belgium (Pundit Arena)

The Republic of Ireland came away with a respectable 2-2 draw against Belgium at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday evening and here are our player ratings.

The Preston man headed home an equaliser just 10 minutes after coming on, send the Aviva into raptures. Great composure shown by the young man to tee himself up and fire home. Surely a move away from Derby County isn’t far. Couldn’t be blamed for either of Belgium’s goals but lacked a spectacular moment which would have put pressure on Gavin Bazunu for the number one shirt. Callum Robinson – 7 Josh Cullen – 7
