O’Dowda earns eighth international cap

Having produced two goals and five assists for City this term, and impressing during his first senior start against Moldova in Ireland's penultimate group game, O’Dowda completed 90 minutes in Copenhagen, winning his eighth cap.

The visitors were lucky not to suffer an early setback after Darren Randolph was required to make two stops in quick session to deny Jens Stryger Laren and Andreas Cornelious, before Pione Sisto shot wide of the far post after Christian Eriksen’s attempt was beaten away.  

Martin O’Neill’s side created few clear-cut opportunities, and the most notable came on the stroke of half-time when Leicester City’s Kasper Schmeichel saved Cyrus Christie's chip from a closing angle, with Jeff Hendrick’s follow-up crucially turned behind.
