Evan Ferguson's Ireland debut was a night to remember for the Bettystown man as he scored 17 minutes into his first senior start for the Boys in Green.
But thanks to the Brighton & Hove Albion striker and his teammates, it was also a memorable evening for the young mascots at the Aviva Stadium as the Ireland players gave the mascots their jackets as the rain poured down prior to kick-off.
Pictures show the players wrapping their jackets around the mascots on the pitch as the teams stood ahead of the national anthems.
