Ireland show solidarity with Ukraine ahead of Nations League clash

Irish fans, players and staff showed solidarity with Ukraine ahead of Wednesday night's Nations League clash at the Aviva Stadium.

The FAI gave 3,000 tickets to Ukrainian refugees living in Ireland for the match and Oleksandr Petrakov's side were applauded on to the pitch as they came out for their warm-up.

There was a minute's applause at the Dublin venue ahead of kick-off, with injured Ireland captain Seamus Coleman helping the 22 mascots to give bouquets of flowers to Ukrainian fans in the crowd.
