Good evening and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Republic of Ireland's final World Cup qualifying group C game against Kazakhstan in Dublin.

The referee brings a end to the game. It has finished Ireland 3 - 1 Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan finally look ready to provide an attacking threat but it's the 90th minute and there are very few supporters left to witness it.

Kazakhstan have a free-kick in a dangerous position but it's belted into the wall and amounts to nothing.

SUB: Ireland replace Stokes with Wes Hoolahan.

McGeady is in all kinds of space inside the box but he stumbles and the chance is gone.

SUB: Kazakhstan replace Kapovich with Pavel Shabalin.

CHANCE! Kazakhstan drop a dangerous corner into the box and the ball falls to Finonchenko but his strike is well blocked in the six-yard box.

Keane is sniffing around for his second of the night but McGeady's floated cross is just taken off his head.

CHANCE! McGeady again skips past his man but his shot on the edge of the area is well blocked by a wall of defenders.

That is exactly what Ireland needed, the direct running of McGeady caused panic in the visitor's defence and opened up the perfect opportunity for goal number three.

GOAL! McGeady makes an instant impact as he surges in from the left flank and his cut back is taken off Keane's toes by Shomko only for the ball to trickle into the net.

SUB: Ireland replace the impressive Reid with Aiden Mceady

Ireland are trying to tease Kazakhstan out of their cage and it nearly works as Keane and Doyle combine before the LA Galaxy man fires straight at the keeper.

Ireland are combing the ball across the grass nicely but simplicity rather than ingenuity seems to be the order of the day. The atmosphere has turned decidely flat.

Kazakhstan appear content with hitting thunderbolts from distance but it’s giving the ball boys more trouble than a rather bored David Forde.

Ireland could do with a change, a little injection of flair perhaps? It can’t be too long before Aiden McGeady is asked to suit up.

Stokes finally gets his head up long enough to shoot but his effort is easily smothered before Reid attempts an audacious chip from Sidelnikov’s terrible clearance.

CHANCE! Substitute Jurin nearly scores with his first touch as he rifles a 25-yard strike just wide of Forde’s post.

Reid looks pleased to be back on the international scene and it’s his set-pieces that look like providing the breakthrough.

SUB: Kazakhstan replace Schetkin with Igor Jurin.
