SOCCER

The Republic of Ireland beat Gibraltar 4-nil in last night's Euro 2024 qualifier in Faro.

Evan Ferguson, Mikey Johnston, Matt Doherty and Callum Robinson netted the goals for the Boys in Green.

It's Ireland's second win of the campaign, with automatic qualification now beyond them.

Jamie McGrath says it was important to bounce back after the defeat to Greece last Friday.

Elsewhere in Group B, the Netherlands netted late on through a Virgil van Dijk penalty to beat Greece 1-nil.

Last night's Group F encounter between Belgium and Sweden was abandoned at half-time.

The teams reached the decision following consultation with Brussels police in the wake of a terrorist attack, in which two Swedish nationals were killed.
