Saudi Arabia 0 Republic of Ireland 3
Keane 7, Breen 62, Duff 87



I didn't watch this game (couldn't bear the "us"s and "we"s), but flipped over every now and again for exercise. What I caught was always rather dull looking and the Saudis always had the ball. Anyway, Ireland go through, much as everybody predicted and progress to meet, probably Spain, on Sunday. Saudi Arabia, 0 points.
