Irish earn draw as World Cup mania takes hold
Ireland very much in the runningQuote:
Ireland’s World Cup campaign got off to an encouraging start today as they battled back from a goal down to earn a 1-1 draw with Cameroon.
The African champions dominated the first half and deservedly took the lead in the 39th minute through Patrick Mboma. But Ireland regrouped at half-time and tore into the second half with renewed vigour and, in the 53rd minute, Matt Holland pulled the sides level with a fabulous low strike from 30 yards.
