Rep. of Ireland v Cyprus

Rep. of Ireland 3-0 Cyprus - September 4th 2004 - Lansdowne Road, Dublin

Beautiful September sunshine in Dublin saw us start off the qualifying campaign with a comfortable 3-0 win over Cyprus.

The Cypriots put in one of the worse performances I've seen from a visiting team.

First half goals from Clinton Morisson and Andy Reid paved the way to victory and a penalty from Robbie Keane, early in the second half, finished off the job.
