The Republic of Ireland Under-17 team conceded a goal after eight minutes to Germany in their opening UEFA Elite qualifying tie this evening at Terryland Park in Galway.
Marcos Alvarez set up the chance with an enterprising run down past Mark Connolly. He picked out Felix Kroos in the middle and the shot by Germany’s top scorer took a deflection off Gavin Gunning to leave goalkeeper Ger Hanley wrong-footed.
Paul Murphy came closest to providing an equaliser for the Irish with a low shot from 20 yards that whistled wide.
IRELAND: Hanley (Salthill Devon), Dunleavy (Wolves), Timmons (Birmingham), Gunning (Blackburn), Connolly (Wolves), Morrissey (Ringmahon), Doran (Blackburn), Clifford (Chelsea), Satelle (Crumlin), Murphy (Ipswich), Cunningham (Manchester City).
Substitutes: Robert Brady (Manchester United) for Satelle (35 mins)
GERMANY: Bussman, Becker, Alvarez, Hornschuh, Basturk, Kroos, Hartmann, Gulde, Cincotta (Fardi 31), Herman, Stiepermann.
