80 min Czechs are 1-0 up against the Greeks. Looking good for them to top the group.

31 min Yellow card for Romanian midfielder Amet after a foul on Matthew Doherty. Doherty free kick finds Joseph Shaughnessy who has a free header that lacks any power.
28 min Sean Murray has had a tough half hour down the Irish right wing. Quality of ball in his direction has not been great.
26 min If Ireland finish second in their group, they will take on Spain in the sem-final. They would need to show a lot more if they are to trouble the favourites.
