Nations League: Republic of Ireland v Austria Build-Up
Parrott’s first-half double put Ireland 2-0 ahead, but Austria rallied after halftime and the match was twice halted by Stop The Game protests.
- On Thursday, the Republic of Ireland drew 2-2 with Austria at Aviva Stadium after Austria's substitutes Alexander Prass and Michael Gregoritsch equalized a 2-0 first-half lead in a UEFA Nations League match.
- The Stop The Game campaign disrupted play twice in the opening 45 minutes; fans threw tennis balls onto the pitch around the 20th minute and a pitch invader waved a Palestinian flag before security removed him.
- Striker Troy Parrott scored a sensational 12th-minute solo goal described as 'one of the greatest goals' at Aviva Stadium, then added a penalty before half-time; he has converted 60% of his shots in his last six competitive games.
- Manager Heimir Hallgrimsson made three changes to the starting XI, but the draw leaves Ireland third in Group B3 at the halfway point; he stated he must 'focus on football' amid political pressure surrounding recent fixtures.
- The fixture served as a test event for Euro 2028 and now faces UEFA review following the pitch invader incident, while the FAI prepares for a behind-closed-doors match against Israel amid heightened security protocols.
