World Cup Dream Alive as Brave Ireland Shock Portugal
Parrott scored twice to secure victory for Ireland after Ronaldo was sent off for elbowing Dara O'Shea, helping to preserve Ireland's World Cup qualification hopes.
- On Thursday in Dublin, Cristiano Ronaldo lashed out with an elbow at Dara O'Shea, prompting a dismissal after VAR officials reviewed and upgraded the card to red.
- After earlier set-piece drama, Cristiano Ronaldo had a frustrating night missing chances and saw his knuckleball free-kick strike Dara O'Shea's head.
- By restricting Portugal's chances, Ireland's defence smothered attacks, and Kelleher produced a late reflex save to deny Goncalo Ramos.
- Troy Parrott delivered a brace that keeps Ireland national team’s World Cup hopes alive, sending them to Budapest where only a win secures a play-off spot after Hungary’s victory.
- Amid a raucous Lansdowne Road-like atmosphere on Thursday night, every Ireland player earned praise for delivering what Dara O'Shea, Ipswich defender, called a 'special result'.
