Ireland U21

The Ireland U21s moved a step closer to securing at least a play-off place for the Euros after a convincing win over Bosnia & Herzegovina this evening.

Ferguson showed some nice touches after coming on, although Ireland did not seem too intent in committing bodies forward after taking the two-goal lead. He would have his goal just after the hour mark. Had a glorious chance to open the scoring for Ireland after 14 minutes, only for his header to drift wide. Smallbone was always willing to look for possession early in the game, but his passing did let him down on occasion. Kilkenny is the heartbeat of the team as currently constructed, with most Ireland attacks coming through him in some form. He looked dangerous at times, putting a couple of excellent deliveries into the opposition penalty area.

Ireland's U21s claimed an important in their chase for qualification for the 2022/23 European Championship, with Will Smallbone impressing.

THREE GOALS and three points closer to the holy grail - now bring on Montenegro on Monday. Will Smallbone and Mipo Odubeko were the heroes in orange tonight ...

And his teammates were happy to oblige, knowing that he would rarely waste possession. He made a couple of loose passes in the first-half and struggled to impose himself in the game, but he was spot-on with his assist for Odubeko shortly after the hour. His low drive whistled past the dive of Damijanovic and into the bottom left hand corner of the net. The Motherwell ace timed the return to perfection, playing Odubeko behind the last defender and giving him an opportunity to take aim from the edge of the area. Goalkeeper Luka Damijanovic got a hand to the near-post shot, but the pace of Smallbone’s effort ensured it made it into the net. But orange has been a good colour for the seniors since the new away kit was introduced late last year - and it was a good look for the Under-21s tonight.
