Late Norway equaliser leaves Ireland sweating on Under-21 Euros spotPress AssociationThe Republic of Ireland missed the chance to secure at least a play-off berth in the European Under-21 Championship qualifiers as Norway snatched a last-gasp 1-1 draw in Cork. After a tight first half, Ireland began to take charge after the break when Andrew Moran drew a save from Sander Tangvik. Roughan broke the deadlock 15 minutes from time when he fired home from Johnny Kenny’s low ball across the face of goal. Ireland came under considerable pressure as Norway pushed for an equaliser in the closing stages. The complaints fell on deaf ears and the goal stood, leaving Ireland second in the group, three points behind Italy and two ahead of Norway.
