    Bosnia-Herzegovina keeper Asmir Begovic: "We couldn't quite get the ball down and play the way we wanted. The weather made it difficult, the fog made it tough. It was a tight game and it's all to play for on Monday."

    At least the weather forecast for Dublin on Monday does not include fog...

    A terrific shift by Martin O'Neill's battling players. It means a goalless draw in Dublin on Monday will be enough to send the Republic of Ireland to Euro 2016.

    Jeers ring out from home fans once again as Ireland are in no hurry to take a free kick deep inside their half. More vital seconds eaten up.

    This was never going to be a classic because of the high stakes but Ireland are moments away from heading back to Dublin with an away goal and a fine result.

    Let's be clear about this. A 1-1 draw away to Bosnia will still be a very good result for Ireland to take back to Dublin for Monday's deciding leg.

    Can you believe it? Ireland have the lead as Norwich City midfielder Robbie Brady skips past Toni Sunjic before firing home from the edge of the penalty area to send 800 travelling fans delirious. A huge moment.

    Darren Randolph might be 28 but he is still a rookie when it comes to senior international action. The West Ham keeper has done everything asked of him in Zenica and commanded his area well. He's just over 10 minutes away from a clean sheet.

    Huge noise from the home fans as forward Milan Duric comes on. That's three strikers on the pitch for Bosnia. What is puzzling is that Edin Visca - one of their best players on the night - is hauled off.

    This fog is not going anywhere fast. Apparently if the game is stopped then the remaining minutes will be played on Saturday or a time agreed by both associations. Twenty minutes remaining.
