Sinclair Armstrong gave Ireland an early lead but it was wiped out
Well, you can transport that theory from that sport into this one after a night when Ireland’s Joshua Keeley spilled a routine cross directly into the path of Ivans Patrikejevs who didn’t waste the biggest gift he’s likely to be handed this year.
Yet it didn’t happen. For all their huff and puff, Ireland had neither the imagination nor the composure to get the goal they desperately wanted. And so a game Ireland should have won ended in a draw. That dropped ball led to two dropped points. Second place, and a shot at the playoffs, is what they are likely to end up with now.
There and then you suspected an Irish backlash because they had played with patience and poise in the first half, controlling every aspect of the game, helped considerably by the midfield triumvirate of Andy Moran, Joe Hodge and Matt Healy. Then, from nowhere, came the second Latvian goal, one Keeley would rather forget. That was on 63 minutes. On 65 Hodge’s probing and Moran’s ingenuity led to Roughan receiving possession on the left. He banged home the chance.
