International Match
7:45pm Tuesday 10th September

Aviva Stadium

Because he came off the bench to seal a 3-1 friendly victory over Bulgaria james Collins appreciated a fantasy Republic of Ireland debut.
The Luton striker added his name with four minutes remaining as Mick McCarthy’s understudies eventually made a late surge is told with by the pressure.
Kevin Long and alan Browne had both earlier scored first senior goals for their country either side of both the 66th-minute penalty of Ivelin Popov as Ireland hit three in a game for the very first time as they beat Uruguay in June 2017 by the same score.
There was an impressive debut in Charlton midfielder Josh Cullen, while Browne and Alan Judge obtained minutes over the global stage ahead of next month’s tricky Qualifier double-header at Georgia and Switzerland.
McCarthy, who is now unbeaten in six games since launching his second spell in charge, might need to make at least one shift in Tbilisi using full-back Enda Stevens suspended, even though it’s improbable that whatever he watched Tuesday evening will introduce him with real choice dilemmas.
He had been as good as his sentence after promising to test the thickness of his team, making 10 changes from the side which drew in the process handing debuts that are senior into 20-year-old Bournemouth keeper Mark Travers and Cullen.
Because he made nine changes to the team defeated 4-0 by England on Saturday, opposite number Krasimir Balakov gave keeper Hristo Ivanov a first look, and he nearly had 2 clearances.
It was the people who twice threatened from set pieces Georgi Pashov forcing a law rescue from Travers and fellow defender Kristian Dimitrov going over, during the early trades, both from Nikolay Dimitrov
corners.
Judge cleared Ivanov’s crossbar with a header and then watched the keeper assert his deflected shot after great work by Hogan, Callum O’Dowda along with Cyrus Christie, however despite their dominance from the middle of the pitch, McCarthy’s men were struggling to create purposeful openings.
Cullen chased back to make a crucial block after he broke clear 12 minutes until the rest and Ronan Curtis drilled wide from distance at the other 32, and then deny Daniel Mladenov eight minutes.
However, Hogan just failed to have a foot into the cross stroke of half-time of the Portsmouth midfielder with Ivanov grateful to field the ball at the second attempt to conserve his sheet.
With Browne sitting apparently deeper Ireland grabbed the people but wasted promising places with balls that were final.
Bulgaria had skipper John Egan been in the right place at the right time and responded, up the scoring might have opened after commanding the pull-back of Ivan Goranov and blasting on the turn against the guard’s legs.
But it had been the Republic who took the lead with 56 minutes gone when Ivanov’s night took a turn for the worse if he blasted Curtis’ dipping shot and Hogan fed the ball across goal to dent for Browne.
As Hogan and Judge made manner, mcCarthy handed caps to Collins and Jack Byrne, along with the Shamrock Rovers midfielder whistled a 65th-minute shot wide.
However, Bulgaria have been given a method back into the match with 24 minutes remaining once full-back Christie ownership to Goranov and striker Bozhidar Kraev, who was tripped by Egan and Popov duly falsified was fed by him from the
spot.
Their joy was short lived when Long powered home Byrne corner and Collins fellow substitute Steven’s cross to acquire it, as Ireland got themselves out of prison.
