Ferguson grabs game's only goal

Pic of Day: Evan Ferguson scoring a goal for Ireland against Finland on the stroke of halftime in the Nations League game at the Aviva Stadium on Thursday evening. Ireland held on to the 1-0 lead, thanks notably to the woodwork and a 77th-minute penalty save by goalie Caoimhin Kelleher. Meantime, the squad heads to England for a game at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.  Ireland are guaranteed a third-place in the group, and face a playoff in March to maintain their second-tier status in the Nations League.
