Striker Daryl Murphy played the full 90 minutes and won his 18th cap as the Republic of Ireland drew 1-1 with Bosnia-Herzegovina in the first leg of their Euro 2016 play-off in a very foggy Zenica.
During a second half which was played behind a thick veil of fog, Ireland took the lead in the 82nd minute via Robbie Brady but Edin Džeko hit back for the home side three minutes later.
Murphy played up front on his own and never really had a chance to break his international duck - as far as TV viewers could make out anyway - as he and his team-mates battled out a draw which makes them favourites to progress to next summer’s finals ahead of Monday’s second leg at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin (Sky Sports One, 7pm).
There was one moment of concern for Blues boss Mick McCarthy in the 65th minute when the Town number nine spent a fair amount of time on the ground following a tackle from behind, however, he was eventually able to continue.
Meanwhile, Blues winger Dylan Connolly came on as a 65th minute sub and won his ninth cap as the Republic of Ireland U21s lost 3-1 to Lithuania in a Euro 2017 qualifier in Vilnius earlier in the evening, ending the game with 10 men after Fulham's Sean Kavanagh was red-carded.
