Video: Ireland Still In With A Chance Of Olympic Qualification After This Lovely Assist

Alan Sothern grabbed the only goal of the game in Antwerp to send Ireland through to Sunday's fifth-place play-off where a win over either Malaysia or France will give Ireland a good chance of getting through to Rio. Here's the all important goal:
