86'
N. Milenković is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
GOAAAALLLLLLL - IRELAND 1-1 SERBIA - Kenny's men have done it, and they needed a huge stroke of luck to draw them level. After winning a throw-in, Robinson decided to cross the ball into the near post. Milinkovic-Savic waited for the delivery to bounce before trying to clear, but somehow, Milenkovic got in his way, and his clearance smacked him in the chest before sailing past Rajkovic. A truly bizarre own goal, but Ireland will not care one bit.
85'
N. Radonjić gets yellow.
Radonjic is shown a yellow card for time wasting.
83'
N. Maksimović enters the game and replaces D. Tadić.
Tadic's night is over as he is replaced by Maksimovic.
Ireland are just starting to win more of the second balls in midfield, but they are in real danger of conceding on the counter-attack.

71'
N. Radonjić enters the game and replaces F. Đuričić.
70'
L. Jović enters the game and replaces D. Vlahović.
Jovic also enters the game in place of Vlahovic, and the fresh legs could prove crucial for Serbia as they search for a second goal.
Stojkovic also utilises his bench as he makes two subs; the first sees Radonjic replace Duricic.
67'
Kenny now injects some pace into the game as Horgan enters the field of play, with McGrath making way.

Kenny turns to his bench for more inspiration, with Cullen replaced by fellow midfielder Molumby.
58'
C. Robinson enters the game and replaces A. Browne.
SAVE!!! Bazunu comes to Ireland's rescue as he keeps Mitrovic at bay from close range. Serbia worked the ball into the box before Mitrovic tried his luck, only to see his strike saved at the death.
Kenny turns to his bench as Robinson replaces Browne, so Ireland have likely changed their formation.
54'
Still early days in the second 45 minutes, but Ireland have not made any inroads so far in this second half.
50'
Browne is shown a yellow card for a swinging arm when challenging Pavlovic for the ball in midfield.
49'

48'
No changes for either side at the break, so Kenny clearly believes he can get a tune out of his current crop. Serbia boss Stojkovic will have seen no reason to change anything, with his team well on top in the first half.

22'
Ireland face a crucial ten minutes or so now at the Aviva Stadium. Their confidence is already low, but they must dig deep and try to keep the score at 1-0 before they fall further behind.
20'
S. Milinković-Savić has scored a goal for Serbia! Assist by D. Tadić.
The majority of Serbia's team dashed towards Ajax midfielder Tadic after that goal, and it is easy to see why. Perfect delivery for his teammate to attack the Ireland goal.
GOAAAALLLL - IRELAND 0-1 SERBIA - The visitors take the lead from a corner as Tadic's cross is headed home by Milinkovic-Savic at the near post. The midfielder peeled away at the near post, flicked his header towards goal, with Bazunu only able to help it on its way.
9'
Ireland win their first free-kick inside Serbian territory, but they fail to create a shooting opportunity, and it remains goalless.

We are underway in Dublin, Ireland will wear their traditional green and white kit, while Serbia are wearing their white away shirt with blue shorts.
Hello and welcome to tonight's live coverage of the World Cup qualifier between the Republic of Ireland and Serbia. Stephen Kenny's side are still searching for their first three points during this qualifying campaign, and they will need to be at their best to get past Serbia.
Kenny's troops have lost three of their four qualifiers so far, but they showed some fight in Saturday's draw against Azerbaijan. Ireland will be well aware that they need to start winning games quickly, but their record at home isn't exactly inspiring, with Kenny's men winless in their last seven competitive home games.
Ireland are without a win in three matches, and they come into tonight's battle on the back of a 1-1 draw against Azerbaijan. Serbia's recent form is much better, with Dragan Stojkovic's side only losing one of their previous 11 games.
Serbia's record in World Cup qualifiers is very impressive of late, with the visitors losing just one of their previous 17 matches.
IRELAND (3-5-1-1): Gavin Bazunu; Andrew Omobamidele, Shane Duffy, John Egan; Matt Doherty, Jamie McGrath, Josh Cullen, Jeff Hendrick, James McClean; Alan Browne, Adam Idah.
SUBS: Jayson Molumby, Cyrus Christie, Daryl Horgan, Ryan Manning, James Talbot, Troy Parrott, Caoimhin Kelleher, James Collins, Callum Robinson, Conor Hourihane, Liam Scales, Harry Arter.
SERBIA (3-5-2): Predrag Rajkovic; Nikola Milenkovic, Milos Veljkovic, Strahinja Pavlovic; Filip Djuricic, Dusan Tadic, Nemanja Gudelj, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Filip Kostic; Dusan Vlahovic, Aleksandar Mitrovic.
SUBS: Mihailo Ristic, Marko Dmitrovic, Stefan Mitrovic, Nemanja Radonjic, Filip Mladenovic, Mile Svilar, Nemanja Maksimovic, Uros Racic, Ivan Ilic, Sasa Lukic, Luka Jovic.
Ireland came into this game knowing they were going to be up against it, but the home fans need more if they are to get behind their team. Kenny's troops have barely got them off their seats, and they need everyone inside the stadium to be behind them in the second 45 minutes.
Ireland remain fourth in Group A, and they are still nine points behind Serbia after five games. Kenny's side might not be getting the results, but the players are showing they are playing for their manager. The majority of Serbia's starting XI walks into the Ireland team, and the home fans will no doubt be pleased with the fighting spirit they witnessed.
That is all for tonight guys, thanks for joining us. Goodbye!
Kenny's side travel to Azerbaijan in their next qualifier in October, while Serbia will face Luxembourg on the same night. A win for Ireland is vital if they want to start to climb the table, and they will need to hope Serbia do them a favour.
