The Republic of Ireland managed to score a goal against Spain in Yankee Stadium last night, but sadly it was offside. So here’s a look at the goal in question.
Sean St. Ledger was unlucky not to have his goal added to the score sheet last night and there were a few raised eyebrows pointed in the direction of American referee Jair Maruto, but after watching the clip below you’ll see that it was offside.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, St. Ledger said, ‘I went away celebrating, but it was actually a really good decision from the linesman, having seen it again. But it would have been a good feeling, obviously.
‘It was tough, like last time. To be fair, I thought we actually did a lot better than we did in Poland.
‘They are an unbelievable side for hanging on to the ball – but they do that to nearly every team in the world.
‘They are a fantastic side and I can’t see any other winners of the World Cup next year.’
