That's forward for Doherty, and he did well to keep it in play.
Bene for Ireland, took a deflection on the way across,
it's gone out for a corner, is it? Yes, it is.
First corner of the game.
Here's Robbie Brady, with the corner.
Decent delivery, Pitford stays in his lane!
What a ball. These are the balls you want from Robbie Brady,
Molumbi just comes too quick to him and he can't get his head round him.
That's for Gordon, and the ball just sat up in front of him.
Now he gets a chance to run at Seamus Coleman.
Anthony Gordon, cross on the way, it's too deep, missed second.
Alexander-Arnold will retrieve and bells it back in,
first time, Kane over the top.
Marking wasn't good there from Ireland, he got between two defenders, Harry Kane.
Terrible miss for Harry Kane.
They're the ones who usually just knocks them in the corner.
It's a great ball back from Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The best thing Ireland have created from the corner.
Ball turned over, Ogbene and Molumbi,
and Ede gets ahead, has to stay onside, Smoddix for Ireland.
Smoddix!
Back out to Ogbene, the shot was on target, Pitford had to deal with it.
And Doherty, Ireland load the penalty area,
and Doherty can't get through there, and he's fouled Grealish.
Referee says play on, that was a chance.
Great chance, wasn't it? Great play by Ireland on this side.
But it's from Ireland putting England under pressure.
And Gordon made the run, and Gordon has got through here for England.
Gordon, good stop, really good save by Callagher, danger still not clear.
Ireland fell asleep, Harry Kane, brilliant from Collins, and Rice has scored.
Declan Rice, the former Irish senior international,
puts England in front from the breakaway.
And Ireland were caught from the moment Anthony Gordon made his run in behind.
England take the lead.
Anthony Gordon's run had to be spotted, but nobody spots him.
And Trent Alexander-Arnold's on the ball, in this rifle-back position,
you've got to be aware, you cannot let a ball like that go between your centre-backs,
it's a bad miss.
So now, Robbie Brady, came straight off the wall, he'll have another go,
and then, well, Molumbi got in his way and England break,
and Ireland are exposed here, they haven't got players back,
they're starting to get players back now, it's 4-on-2 momentarily.
Gordon for England, very brilliant save.
Declan Rice, brilliant breakout.
Ball into Anthony Gordon, and what a save, spreads himself.
He was unfortunate there, here's Rice.
Alexander-Arnold.
And now Grealish, oh, Grealish!
Just thinking a few minutes ago, Rice got his goal, a wonderful Grealish score,
and he does more of a celebration than Declan Rice did,
two former Irish internationals score on their return to Dublin.
It was contemplated, England lead Ireland 2-0.
Forward run, that wasn't picked up again.
It was Saka and Robbie Brady.
Again, it's an easy goal to concede.
A couple of passes, there's the one in behind.
His Liverpool team-mate has got it.
Saka.
Kyle Saka with the cross, Kane's in after it,
Kelleher just got his right hand to that.
Saka with this cross in, Kane, Kelleher comes and gets it away ahead of him.
But now we have it, and then we give it back straight away,
finding it so, so difficult to pass it round.
But hanging on at 2-0 down.
It looks like they've gone to a three in midfield.
That's a superb goal.
Faced with Caldwell.
And now Smoddick's.
How close was this?
He has been, I mentioned it earlier, in goal-scoring form before this season.
The crowd have come to life again.
It's a great ball out wide.
Ogbene attacks the full-back and then whiffs one in quickly.
Smoddick for all the goals he's scored over the last couple of seasons.
But that's a good ball to Ogbene.
Finds Knight.
And this is, look what, there's nothing wrong with that.
They put England under pressure.
That's it to the Spanish referee.
Ireland have turned it over.
Ogbene comes back to Smoddick.
Could have scored earlier on.
There's a chance!
Molumbi's got to keep that down.
At least force the goalkeeper to make a save.
That was half-hearted.
But better nonetheless.
Yeah, much better.
Ogbene again down that right-hand side.
But Molumbi with a terrible, terrible attempt on goal.
He really doesn't commit to it.
Right, that was short from him.
Bowen always seems to make an impression when he comes on to this team.
Bowen and Kelleher with the save again.
Another fine stop from Clevean Kelleher.
It's not a bad squad of players.
A big website had England down as the most valuable international squad in the world.
Kelleher makes another really good save.
He has come to Ireland's rescue on numerous occasions.
And that's one of the many things that the manager and his coaching staff
will have to address in the coming weeks and months.
Saka is he onside.
Eze through the middle.
Saka.
Another stop.
Another save.
And another miss.
That was Eze.
Came in very quickly.
Clevean Kelleher.
Save after save.
He's kept the score down.
He has.
I think the Manager's Match Award was a little bit too early.
Saka, that run behind again.
He lets on he's going to show for it.
But Kelleher again to his right.
That's a strong hand on it.
Knocks it away.
Saka with his little run in behind.
That is the end.
The Republic of Ireland have been beaten by two goals to nil
in Haider Halgrimson's first game in charge.
