Chiedozie Ogbene\u2019s equaliser ensured the Republic of Ireland continued their good run of results as they drew 1-1 with World Cup co-hosts Canada in Montreal.<\/p>\n
Ogbene reacted quickest to slot home after Troy Parrott\u2019s penalty was saved as Ireland ended their season with another solid result.<\/p>\n
They have lost just once in their last eight games, including five wins, with the only defeat against the Czech Republic on penalties.<\/p>\n
Canada went ahead midway through the first half when a corner was flicked on by Parrott and found the Irish net via the unfortunate Jake O\u2019Brien.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Brien made amends with a good block to deny Hull\u2019s Liam Millar as the hosts threatened to stretch their lead before the interval.<\/p>\n
Ireland were given a route back into the match just before the hour when Jamie McGrath was caught by a high foot in the box by Cyle Larin.<\/p>\n
Parrott\u2019s penalty was well saved by Maxime Crepeau, but Ipswich winger Ogbene won the race to sweep the loose ball into the net.<\/p>\n
Larin went close to restoring Canada\u2019s lead, while Crepeau produced another fine save to deny Tottenham\u2019s Mason Melia a goal on his second cap.<\/p>\n
Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrimsson handed debuts to Dawson Devoy, Kian Leavy and Adam Brennan \u2013 the first League of Ireland players to be capped since 2020 \u2013 and Joe Hodge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chiedozie Ogbene\u2019s equaliser ensured the Republic of Ireland continued their good run of results as they drew 1-1…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":485910,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-485909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=485909"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485909\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/485910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=485909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=485909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=485909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
