France once again sealed Republic of Ireland's major international tournament fate after winning 2-1 in their last-16 match in Lyon at UEFA Euro 2016 on Sunday. An Antoine Griezmann brace for the hosts in the second half cancelled out Robbie Brady's second-minute penalty.
Ireland struggled to respond to going behind, especially after defender Shane Duffy was sent off for a lunge on Griezmann. France await the winner of England's match with Iceland on Monday.
