Ireland go 2-1 up v NZ. They went one nil down. NZ have had the lions share of possession. The equaliser came from a mistake but it still had to be finished. The 2nd goal was nice just after HT. Long way to go but theyâll deserve a win.
Chinese tapei handing the Danes a a pasting in the mixed badminton on bbc now.
Ireland playing well. Weâre creating chances. My worry would be that weâve had all this pressure but not won any corners or properly tested the goalie. Weâve also been isolated at times, not creating 2 v 1s.
As I type this, NZ win a short.
Canât beat the middle weekend of the Olympics with the overlap between swimming and athletics.

Sonia eloquently defending Rhasidat decision on mixed relay. She has to do whatâs best for her if she has a chance to win individual medal.

Surely itâs an ABSOLUTE no brainer?
How Nelson didnât put it in. Open goal. Both teams are tired judging by the fouls. Lots of lazy swipes.
End of Q3.
Ireland are tired. Lots of sloppy mistakes leading to NZ short corners. Still 10 left.
Itâs a good job Davy Harte is inspired form today.
A penalty corner if the ball hits your own nogin is a weird one.
Keeper made it dangerous.
You wouldnât see messing like that in the Olympic Handball.
Japanese athlete making it interesting in this 5000m semi final. Fair play to her for having a go and getting on screen as sheâll probably be reeled in.

Great shot there of a male decathlete as women ran past. He was like a giant in comparison.
NZ have taken the goalie off. 90 seconds left. Ireland just have to hold on and hopefully counter attack. Itâs backs against the wall stuff.
2-1 win! NZ will be kicking themselves. 0/15 from short corners.

Does that win give them any chance of a quarter final?
