The Republic of Ireland had to settle for a point from their opening game of Euro 2016 after they gave up a lead to draw 1-1 with Sweden. Wes Hoolahans opener was cancelled out when Ciaran Clark scored an own goal from Zlatan Ibrahimovics cutback 19 minutes from the end.Former Ireland striker Clinton Morrison watched the game for Sky Sports News HQ and maintains its still a result they can use as a platform. He said: Theyll be frustrated but I think Martin ONeill will take a lot of positives from that. They were brilliant for 70 minutes.At the last European Championship, Ireland never turned up or got a point but theyve beaten that already and they turned up in Paris.Now they can take that into the Belgium game. With three teams possibly going through from the group, its not a bad result to start with at all.Morrison - a scorer of nine goals in 36 internationals - also gave us his match ratings, marking each Ireland player out of 10…Darren Randolph - 7 He did ever so well to make a save from one of his own players at 1-0 and commanded his box really well. He couldnt do a lot for the goal but was fine otherwise and can be happy with his performance.Seamus Coleman - 7 I love Seamus and hes one of my favourite right-backs in the Premier League. He didnt do a lot going forward when hes usually the one whod be getting upfield but defensively he was brilliant. He made the goal with a great run and hopefully he can do more of that.Ciaran Clark - 7 Ciaran was so unfortunate with the goal. Him and John OShea kept Ibrahimovic very quiet and overall he gave a commanding show. He has been playing in a team which has been relegated out of the Premier League but that didnt show and he was really strong.John OShea - 7 I could give John an eight but thats maybe a bit too generous. He was exceptional though and he led as a captain really well. The only thing is Ibrahimovic got on the outside of the defence at the goal but that was the only negative and he gave a captains performance.Glenn Whelan - 7 Glenn does a job where a lot of people dont see everything hes up to. Hes not always on the ball but he does a lot to break up the play and he did that really well. You could see at the end that he was knackered, he put in a good shift.James McCarthy - 7 James was close to getting himself sent off a couple of times and he was maybe lucky to stay on the pitch when Olsson went through and he clipped him. Hes a big player for us so it was good he stayed on the park as him and Whelan will be important against Belgium.Shane Long - 7 He was magnificent. Shane didnt have many scoring chances but he worked unbelievably hard, won headers and got free kicks that took pressure off the team. Apart from getting on the end of some chances, he did everything he was put in there for.Jeff Hendrick - 8 Hes probably not as well-known as some of the other players in our squad but he was very influential in this one. He kept things neat and tidy and could certainly have had a couple of goals had his luck been in. Jeff was really positive.Jon Walters - 7 Hes obviously been injured and I think that maybe showed a little bit. Thats why he also only lasted an hour or so. That said, he worked really hard and gave everything he could despite having a bad Achilles. When hes fit, hes a great asset.Robbie Brady - 8 Robbie has come close to being my man of the match because he was tremendous throughout. He was up and down the line constantly and some of his deliveries into the box were first class. Wes Hoolahan - 9 Hoolahan just shades it from Brady. He took his goal superbly and his footwork was terrific. Ireland havent really got a lot of players who are technically that good on the ball in tight spaces but he was a definite exception. His close control was great and his finish was top drawer.SUBSTITUTESJames McClean - 6 He didnt really get into the game. James had enough time on the park but by that point Ireland were defending quite a lot and thats not a situation that suits him.Robbie Keane - 6 Rob was quiet too but you could see why Martin put him on. He was probably hoping a chance would fall to him on the break because nine times out of 10 hed put it away.Aiden McGeady - 5 Aidens my friend so he can get a five instead! He was only on the park for a couple of minutes at the end and there wasnt enough time to make any impact.

With nothing tangible at stake, the Raptors turned in their most impressive outing of the fall in their seventh and second to last exhibition tilt against their stiffest competition yet, but they lost a couple starters in the process. Authentic Denver Broncos Jerseys . PAUL, Minn.ATLANTA -- For all that Jason Heyward did well, his diving catch in the eighth inning felt the best. Heyward homered and drove in two runs, Andrelton Simmons had two RBIs, and the Atlanta Braves won their third straight game with a 6-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night. "If they keep having (at-bats), maybe they put up another run or two," Heyward said. "Defence is going to win the game at the end of the day, but its good to score runs, and it got us going a little bit." Returning from the All-Star break, the Braves moved one game ahead of Washington in the NL East. Last-place Philadelphia dropped 11 games behind Atlanta. Jimmy Rollins led off the eighth with a walk against Jordan Walden, the third Atlanta pitcher, but was thrown out at second base on Chase Utleys strikeout. Heyward, the right fielder, then charged in to make a diving catch of Ryan Howards liner. "You get so used to seeing him make those kinds of plays," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said of the 2012 Gold Glove winner. "Thats why for me he might be the best right fielder, if not in the (majors), definitely in the National League." The game was played in a steady drizzle, but the rain had nearly stopped when Braves closer Craig Kimbrel earned his 30th save in 34 chances. He got Marlon Byrd on a groundout and struck out Grady Sizemore and Cody Asche. Ervin Santana (8-6) gave up six hits, three walks and four runs -- three earned -- in six innings to win for the third time in four starts. He struck out one. Phillies starter A.J. Burnett (6-9) allowed six runs, 10 hits -- the last nine with two out -- and one walk in five innings. He had five strikeouts as Philadelphia lost its third straight. Burnett was clearly mad at himself as he walked off the field after the fifth. "Six runs in five innings pretty much nails it on the head," he said.dddddddddddd"I was in counts where I should have made pitches and I didnt. Thats the bottom line. I made pitches to get to that point, didnt make pitches after that. I dont have excuses. I didnt get it done." The Phillies led 2-0 in the second on Asches sacrifice fly and Cameron Rupps RBI single, but they trailed 4-2 in the bottom half after Heyward hit his ninth homer, B.J. Upton had an RBI single, and Simmons drove in two runs with a double. Atlanta made it 6-2 in the fifth on RBI singles by Heyward and Tommy La Stella. "They clumped (hits) together and put the four runs and two runs up in that fashion," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "Not the start we wanted the second half. We had some good at-bats, though." Philadelphia cut the lead to 6-4 in the sixth. Rollins reached on first baseman Freddie Freemans fielding error and moved to third on Utleys double. Both runners scored on Howards broken-bat, two-run bloop single. NOTES: Atlanta requested unconditional release waivers before the game on former All-Star 2B Dan Uggla. The Braves still owe Uggla, who hit .162 with two home runs and 10 RBI in 130 at-bats this year, over $18 million through the end of next season. ... Gonzalez said C Evan Gattis, on the disabled list with a back injury, is scheduled to get about 12 at-bats over the next three days and play in the field for two games as he continues a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett. If he has no setbacks, Gattis will be activated for Mondays game against Miami. ... Phillies LHP Cliff Lee, after missing nine weeks with a strained left elbow, says he is ready to return to the rotation for his start Monday at home against San Francisco. ... The Braves recalled utility man Tyler Pastornicky to take Ugglas spot on the 25-man roster.
