Ireland 0-1 France player ratings from the Euro 2024 qualifier at the Aviva Stadium

Gavin Bazunu 7 - Nothing he could do about the goal but saved well to deny Diaby and Rabiot

Nathan Collins 8 - Big, commanding performance and almost scored a headed equaliser at the death.

John Egan 7 - Dependable as ever at the back and did a solid job keeping Giroud under wraps.

Dara O’Shea 7 - Caught in two minds whether to close Pavard for the goal but Diaby tackle was vital.

Seamus Coleman 8 - A top notch captain’s display after climbing off the treatment table to play.

Jason Knight 6 - Boundless energy but was caught off guard with Cullen’s pass for the goal.

Josh Cullen 6 - His costly mistake allowed France open the scoring and his frees lacked precision

Jayson Molumby 7 - His energy was off the charts and he broke up French attacks with lung-busting runs.

Matt Doherty 6 - Enjoyed one great run in the first-half, beating three players, but blew hot and cold

Evan Ferguson 6 - Didn’t get the service he would have liked but was still a handful holding up the ball

Chiedozie Ogbene 7 - A nightmare for Hernandez and was always willing to muck out defensively

Subs:

Adam Idah for Ferguson (65 mins) - 6
James McClean for Doherty (77 mins) - 6
Mikey Johnston for Knight (77 mins) - 6
Alan Browne for O’Shea (77 mins) - 6
Michael Obafemi for Molumby (86 mins) - 5
