Match ends, Republic of Ireland 1, Netherlands 1.
27 May 2016
Republic of Ireland held to draw by Dutch
Republic of Ireland were denied a confidence-boosting win in their penultimate game before Euro 2016 as Netherlands claimed a draw in Dublin.
Shane Long tapped in his 16th international goal from close range to give the Republic a half-time lead.
And Martin O'Neill's side went close with two Shane Duffy headers but Luuk de Jong converted a late free header.
The Republic host Belarus on Tuesday, the same night that O'Neill names his squad for the tournament in France.
