Shane Long scores a stoppage-time equaliser to give Republic of Ireland a 1-1 draw with Poland in Dublin.

Shane Long's stoppage-time strike was enough to rescue a point for the Republic of Ireland as they drew 1-1 with Poland in Dublin in their Euro 2016 qualifier.

Slawomir Peszko gave the visitors the lead on 25 minutes when he drilled a shot home after Robbie Brady and Marc Wilson had made a hash of a clearance.

The hosts had an early chance through Wes Hoolahan, but the Norwich City playmaker's effort was fired wide from outside the box before Grzegorz Krychowiak should have done better up the other end on 20 minutes.

Martin O'Neill's side had to withstand heavy pressure from the Poles and Shay Given was forced into a save to deny Maciej Rybus after the half-hour mark.

Aiden McGeady had Ireland's best chance at the death of the half, and the Everton winger's effort flew just inches wide of the post.

Ireland almost drew level less than 10 minutes into the second period, but Pawel Olkowski was fortunate to see his deflection strike a post with Lukasz Fabianski beaten.

O'Neill's men began to visibly grow in confidence and Wilson saw a header saved before Hoolahan and Walters wasted decent openings.

With the game edging into stoppage time, Southampton striker Long popped up to poke home and rescue a point for the Irish.
