There is another game of Irish importance tonight, believe it or not. The Republic of Ireland under 21s are currently playing Norway in the under-21 European Championship qualifying campaign.
Noel King's side went into the match tied on top of the group, but expected their toughest game yet in Dremmen against a Norway side which included underage sensation Martin Ødegaard.
Ødegaard opened the scoring with a cool finish to put his side 1-0 up.

The Real Madrid star is currently on loan at Dutch club SC Heerenveen. However, his strike did not dampen the Irish side's spirit with Jack Mulraney landing a superb individual effort to bring the game back to 1-1.

A win for Norway would take them over Ireland in the group, while a result for Ireland would be a fantastic platform to carry them into two games against the other side at the top of the group, Germany. The game is live on Eir Sport.
