Troy Parrott dramatically completed his hat-trick by scoring a last-minute winner and securing Republic of Ireland a World Cup qualifying play-off spot following their thrilling 3-2 win against Hungary.
Parrott had already helped himself to a double but with the scoreline level at 2-2 and the game ticking into the 96th minute, the AZ Alkmaar striker poked home a third to keep their hopes of qualifying for next summer's World Cup alive.
Ireland finished second in Group F, securing the play-off spot as a result, after back-to-back wins against Portugal on Thursday and Hungary on Sunday.
The play-offs will be held in March next year, with 12 group runners-up participating, along with the four best-ranked group winners of the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League that did not finish their European Qualifiers group stage in first or second place.
