Republic of Ireland's Euro 2016 qualification hopes were handed a significant boost after they earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw away to Bosnia-Herzegovina in the first leg of their play-off tie.
Robbie Brady's 82nd-minute strike looked to have handed the Irish a vital victory in Zenica, but Edin Dzeko's equaliser three minutes later ensured the sides would head into Monday's return leg all square.
Martin O'Neill's injury-hit side put in a valiant defensive display in the first half at the Bilino Polje Stadium to limit the Bosnian attack, before severe fog limited both sides' attacking threat after the break.
