Evan Ferguson’s first-half header led the Republic of Ireland to a narrow 1-0 win over Finland in their UEFA Nations League match at Aviva Stadium. Despite Finland’s attacking threats, including two shots off the woodwork, Ireland’s goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher made crucial saves, including a double-save from a penalty. The victory keeps Ireland safe from relegation, while Finland drops to League C. Ireland now prepares for a pivotal match against England at Wembley, aiming for a play-off spot to maintain their second-tier status.
