Ireland laboured to a dismal 1-1 draw against New Zealand as the curtain came down on James McClean’s international career.

And the game proved to be Stephen Kenny’s last as manager with the FAI confirming less than 24 hours after the final whistle that there would be no contract extension for the Dubliner.

Conor Ryan's photo gallery from the game is here.

The Boys in Green took a first-half lead through Adam Idah - and for a time it looked as if Ireland could push on from that.

But the All Whites reacted well to going behind before levelling in the second half through Matt Garbett.
