Ireland reason Denmark to goalless pull in initial leg

• Denmark and Republic of Ireland’s initial leg finishes goalless
• Chances few and distant between in Copenhagen
• Second leg: Tuesday 14 Nov in Dublin

Republic of Ireland hold Denmark to a goalless pull in Copenhagen in a initial leg of a teams’ 2018 FIFA World Cup Russiaâ„¢ subordinate play-off tie.

Chances were few and distant between in what was radically a chess compare between former team-mates incited conduct coaches Age Hareide and Martin O’Neill.

Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Darren Randolph had to make an early save from a driven shot by Andreas Cornelius. 

As expected, Republic of Ireland directed to soak adult Danish vigour and looked to retaliate them on a counter-attack. However, Martin O’Neill’s side were incompetent to put together any dangerous attacks for many of a half.

Christian Eriksen had a integrate of shots on aim saved by Randolph in a initial half. However, a best possibility of a half fell to Sisto Emirmija, who was incompetent to drive his shot on aim after pouncing on a miscarry of an Eriksen shot. 

Ireland constructed their best possibility of a compare right before half-time when Cyrus Christie went on a absolute run down a left flank, though Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel smothered a opportunity.

Both coaches threw on attack-minded substitutions in a second half, with brazen Nicklas Bendtner entrance on for a Danes and Shane Long for a Irish. However, conjunction of them were means to mangle by their particular antithesis backlines.

Randolph done a outrageous save in a 90th notation from surrogate Yussuf Poulsen’s header to eventually keep a purify piece for his side.

The tie is perfectly-poised, as a dual teams will accommodate in a second leg in Dublin on Tuesday for a mark during subsequent year’s World Cup.
