IRELAND U19S EARNED a 1-1 draw against Bosnia in their Euros qualifier in Dobrich today.
Johnny Kenny’s strike gave Tom Mohan’s side a first-half lead but their rivals equalised just before half-time.
The Sligo star finished clinically from the edge of the box from Jack Henry-Francis’ cutback.
Striker Aleksandar Kahvić then responded for a goal that ultimately earned the Bosnians a draw.
Andrew Moran, Bosun Lawal and Tayo Adaramola all had chances to win it, but it wasn’t to be for the Irish side.
The result leaves Ireland level at the top of the group with Bosnia.
A draw in their final group game on Tuesday against Bulgaria will guarantee that they advance to the elite round.
