Republic of Ireland fans celebrate Robbie Brady's late winner at the Dublin Fan Zone

It was a moment that will live long in the memory for all Republic of Ireland fans.

Robbie Brady's winner sent shock waves around Ireland in every sense of the word, especially in the bars across Dublin.

Needing a win to qualify from Group E, Ireland looked to be running out of ideas against group winners Italy, but Brady popped up with five minutes to go, heading home a Wes Hoolahan cross to send a whole nation potty.

The win sets up a last-16 clash with France on Sunday as Ireland can look forward to their first ever knockout match at a European Championship. 

The result also means Wales will face Northern Ireland in Paris on Saturday while Belgium, who beat Sweden 1-0 to finish runners-up in Group E, take on Hungary.

The reaction of fans in Dublin was caught by our cameras and there were scenes not seen since Ray Houghton netted an equally dramatic winner against Italy at the 1994 World Cup.
