Wasn't tested too regularly but made one decent save midway through the first half and another late in the second. Couldn't have been expected to stop Emin Makmudov's superb goal.

Didn't have much to do at the back but not for the first time, got Ireland out of jail with an important goal.

Made a couple of good passes in the first half, but otherwise had very little to do - solid without ever really needing to be spectacular.

Got forward well at times but his final ball was invariably disappointing and he could have got tighter for Azerbaijan's goal.

A disappointing display, particularly given that he was one of Ireland's best players against Portugal. Like many other Irish players, his delivery let him down before being substituted.

Could have been more urgent in closing down for the goal, but atoned somewhat with an excellent ball in for the Duffy equaliser.

Had one or two bright moments in the first half, but still looks quite raw and lacked composure at key moments before being replaced by Conor Hourihane.

Went close early on and tested the goalkeeper with a low shot but didn't make enough of an impact in his 45 minutes on the pitch.

Very disappointing in the first half and while he linked up well at times with Daryl Horgan in the second, his crossing regularly wasn't good enough.

A deserved man of the match, had one brilliant solo run in the first half, and he impressed with his touch and hold-up play throughout.

Had one decent shot from distance early in the second half, but otherwise had very little influence on the game and it was no surprise when he was replaced by Callum Robinson just after the hour mark.
