Aviva Stadium lived a
joyous afternoon after seeing its Boys in Green delivered a grand win over a
weak Moldovan squad, thanks to a double from an inspired Daryl Murphy.
A win that awakens
the hopes and possibilities for the Green Army and its Boss Martin O’ Neill of
netting their pass directly aided with another win over Wales and hoping for a
miracle from Georgia.
With Monday match
considered as an all-around final for both the Republic of Ireland and Wales.
Still tonight, match
was an important feat for the Irish and this win returns the confidence lost by
these during the qualifiers after losing at home against Serbia and drawing in
Tbilisi, letting go important points.
That allowed the
Welsh Dragons to leapfrog them from second place.
That was then and now
October came in a stunning fashion and delivered the first of two feats that the
Republic of Ireland needed to seek their pass into the grand fete of footballs
to celebrate in Russia.
The hard way as one
of its players described this group after their loss against the Balkan squad and
now these are battling against all odds and leaving the possibilities of the role,
many of the already eliminated squads of playing the role of spoilers.
Score one against
Austria who defeated the Serbians, will the Georgians deliver.
Very well, these can
defeat the likes of Chris Coleman Dragons on Monday if this squad focuses in
the unthinkable as the way these did on the EURO qualifiers, after trailing in
their group.
Among one of those
feat was to defeat almighty Germany and going to the playoff to do the same against
Bosnia Herzegovina and in Euro defeating Italy to net their pass to the round
of 16.
With one man delivering
for his country in Daryl Murphy, who delivered with a double in the 2 and 19
minutes, the Republic of Ireland looked a bit hungry and desperate to mount a
goal rout over a modest Moldova.
Still the visitors
did put on a fight with a series of arrivals putting a bit uncomfortable the
likes of Darren Randolph to see his posts defeated by the Moldovan strikers
trying their best of being the spoilers.
One thing for sure
the initial eleven sent by the North Ireland native was a success and total accomplishment
of his well-stated plan to overcome the first hurdle dominated by the Green Army.
Answering the dilemma
the Republic of Ireland manager had in the course of the week with the striker crisis
and it is when the Nottingham Forrest striker steeped up.
One down one more to
go and on Monday anything can happen as this match between these two cross the
channel neighbors will have all the elements of a final and the winner will take
it all, it will happen in Cardiff.
