HIGHLIGHTS | Finland 1-2 Ireland | UEFA Nations League

With Kamara. Walter with the shot straight at Kelleher. Good hands from Kelleher. Now it's straight down his throat but he has to get his body behind it. And Darashae did really well just to work his feet out to get that tackle in and Eskinen. He would have gone past him. It's funny both teams just look like they're lacking a little bit of confidence in themselves and belief doesn't it. That's what it feels like. Just trying to feel each other out you know. Oh my word Nathan Collins in trouble. Poe Jankalo for Finland. Well that'll give their confidence quite a boost and it's going to put ours in question again. An awful mistake at the back. Nathan Collins the captain just apologizing to his teammates. It's just it's just sloppy. There's nothing you can do about this as a manager. Collins is trying to play a first time. Just gets it completely wrong and Lels, Poe and Halit are just a run in and you know when he gets there can he finish it. And he just slots it past him. It's a great finish in the centre forward. Ogbenek fancies a run at Galvez and he's got the free kick as well in a pretty decent spot from an Irish point of view. Ogbenek and Collins outside the penalty area as you can see. Brady whips it in with pace for Adeke. Oh and it's a goal. No it's not. Flag up for offside. The ball was put into the back of the net. Well that was almost a pretty quick response. Evan Ferguson wants Ireland to keep the pressure on. Yeah it's whipped into the far post. Brady gets loads of pace on it but he just goes a little bit too early. Collins knocks it back into a really good area. It's well worked but unfortunately just drifted offside. So Ivanov testing Darragh O'Shea and Keskanen certainly made it uncomfortable for him. Keskanen for Finland. Poeampala was there again looking for a second one. That took a bit of a deflection on the way through but no real power in the shot. It's another one on target for Joel Poeampala, the Finnish goal scorer. It's Brendan Wark down the left from Keskanen. Little ball. It's a fight ball between him and O'Shea and he gets there in front of him. Darragh O'Shea staying back. Smodics in towards Scales. Ferguson and Nathan Collins couldn't get a decisive touch on that. Adeke was in pole position it seemed all the time. Just scrappy. Smodics. Brady's made a good run outside him. Took Stahl with him or Stahl's attention anyway. Smodics to Azaz. Sammy Smodics. Evan Ferguson with the shot on target and it's belted away by Ivanov. The Finnish centre back but better for Ireland putting Finland under pressure at least. Yeah a lot better. Smodics was probably being our player. Just instigate this little one two's in and around the area. Finally gets it to Ferguson. Collins is in there. O'Shea. Smodics right in beside Adeke, the Finnish goalkeeper. Brady's delivery is normally really good. Scales. Smodics on target again and Finland well almost made a mess of the clearance. They got away with that but they looked dodgy and edgy Finland. Yeah it's a glorious chance for Smodics. Scales just knocks it down to him. I think Scales is trying to go for a head on target but just dropped. O'Benning fancies a go at Keskinen and he's fouled. It's a free kick for Ireland. It's a big gap between that defensive line and the goalkeeper. A lot of space in behind it. Brady's deliveries can be absolutely superb. That one isn't bad at all. Goal. Ireland equaliser. Liam Scales. Two goals for Celtic this season and he's got one now for the Republic of Ireland. It's a wonderful ball in by Robbie Brady and Liam Scales comes on and meets it perfectly and fires into that top corner but the angle we have here there was perfect. Exactly we're saying just fire across that penalty spot area. Decent trajectory and that player is going in at an angle. Wonderful contact from Scales. Great goal. First goal for his country. Bradecki rooted to the spot. He never moved. Just moved his head to watch it sail into the far corner. It's a wonderful. Brady just whipped it back. Nobody in green near it. He ran off outside of the right boot. That was some pass. Here's Robin Lodt for Finland. Paulian Palo has got the ball at his feet. Here's Kamara. Oh they really should have scored. Kamara will be wondering how he didn't and Ireland gifted Finland a huge chance to regain the lead. Should have at least hit the target. Paulian Palo gets across. He had to get his touch wrong. I think it's Cullen who just wins the ball back but he puts into such a good position. Cullen is gesturing towards the assistant referee saying that there was a Finnish player offside. Flag never went up. Here's Kamara. Ireland living on the edge again. Here's a chance and it's across the face of the goal by Thomas Galvez. What were Ireland doing there? Again it just caused no problems. Cullen's no idea why he's doing that and even if you are going ahead of you head about the other direction if you're taking that decision upon yourself but then Finland working well. Stop Lodt whipping it around into the space. You don't want to leave that channel. So there's Lodt's delivery. Oh that was close. That was really close. Adam Starr. So Lodt's delivery. I think it's Kalman coming in the far post. He gets up so well. He's just looking at it. So close. So that's one scare for Ireland. May not get away with another one. Eberselli with Galvez. Seem to lose control of the ball and Eberselli backs himself. That's absolutely brilliant. Nonchalant cross. Here's our opportunity. Goal. Wonderful goal for Robbie Brady. His 10th goal for his country and he races across to where the Irish supporters are. Robbie Brady is that the winner in Helsinki. Finland 1 Ireland 2. What a goal Eberselli said. Can you make an impact? Can you do something to affect the game? Just one little bit of trickery in around the box and can you find that delivery? He puts it in. Brady what a sensation at this stage in the game for a player of his age to be getting himself forward like that. To have the composure to take that touch and just smash it into the roof of net. What a wonderful goal. The second half he's been the driving force of how we've done well in this match Robbie Brady. What a goal that is. Brilliant. What a finish. It's not quite Euro 2016 but it feels like an important goal and these are important minutes now for Ireland and their new manager Heimer Hal Grimson. The scare of their lives with Kalman about 70 seconds before down at the other end and that is a beauty from Robbie Brady. They're all spectacular goals but that's huge. Absolutely huge in Helsinki. To get a win away from home regardless of how it we played or how it looked will make a massive difference to this team and the confidence going forward. Eberselli could have let that go out but you know what after what happened the last time he wants the ball and he's absolutely on fire. Festi Eberselli picks out Troy Parrott. Parrott for Ireland. Save and Ida was in an offside position. Brilliant from Eberselli down his right hand side again. Works it. Pulls the ball back into great position and Troy Parrott gets it over his three. Brilliant to his left foot and hits it really cleanly straight down the throat. And the three minutes are gone. Eberselli just caught on his heels by Galvez. Timo Pukki that took a wicked deflection and Kelleher stops it from going over the line. The heart doesn't need that at this stage. That was another scare but Cuevín Kelleher always in charge and that should be that in Helsinki. Like when you look back through the history books of Irish football you're not going to remember a night in Helsinki as being one of the key moments in Irish football. There it is. There it is. A very important victory. A first victory for the new Ireland manager. Hamer, Hal Grimson and given to him by all the players who featured tonight but the equaliser from Liam Scales after a strangely subdued off-colour first half would have dented confidence going in behind. Scales made it 1-1 with his first goal for his country Robbie Brady.
