Robbie Brady sent Republic of Ireland into the last 16 of Euro 2016 after netting a dramatic late winner to beat Italy 1-0.
Needing a win to qualify from Group E, Ireland looked to be running out of ideas against group winners Italy, but Brady popped up with five minutes to go, heading home a Wes Hoolahan cross.
The win sets up a last-16 clash with France on Sunday as Ireland can look forward to their first ever knockout match at a European Championship.
The result also means Wales will face Northern Ireland in Paris on Monday while Belgium, who beat Sweden 1-0 to finish runners-up in Group E, take on Hungary.
