Republic of Ireland U-19s v. Chile: Game 2

Sadly, defender Lorcan Fitzgerald and the rest of the Irish U19s suffered another friendly defeat at the hands of Chile. Fortunately though, this was only a friendly and the squad still has time to get it together before the preliminary UEFA qualifying in November.

Ireland went up 1-0 in the 23rd minute and held that lead into halftime, however Chile came out strong after the half and scored two goals within 2 minutes and held on for the 2-1 victory. Lorcan went the distance for the Irish and notably had a long range equalizer tipped off the post near the end of the game.

Good to hear, no knocks and he's firing away from long range...
