Ireland manager Stephen Kenny was pleased with some aspects of his side's performance as Ireland secured a 1-0 win away to Malta to bring their topsy-turvy 2022 to a close.
Kenny's side came into this one under serious pressure after last Thursday's 2-1 defeat at home to Norway.
And they played much of Sunday's game like a team devoid of confidence, with Callum Robinson's fortuitous goal giving Ireland an important win. Despite the somewhat sluggish performance, Kenny opted to focus on the positives after the final whistle.
