A late goal from Robbie Brady was enough for Ireland to beat a reshuffled Italy side 1-0.
Italy,knowing full well,that their next game was against Spain irrespective of the result of this match,rested their major players and made eight changes in the team from their last game.
Ireland now advance to the knockout stages for the first time as one of the best third-place teams.
One comment on “Ireland get past Italian reserve guard”
If there is a will there is a way. Now, this is a condition of Ireland in EURO 2016, Ireland won against table topper of their group, Italy & increase their chances to qualify in top 16 in “UEFA EURO 2016. If they wanna perform extremely well in rest tournament then the captain, Robbie Keane have to perform & lead Ireland football team with more effort.
