Well, that didn't take long. Ireland broke down the United States defence within seven minutes on Tuesday, as David McGoldrick and Anthony Pilkington combined neatly to give the hosts a 1-0 lead.

The Americans equalised in the 39th minute as Mix Diskerud latched onto a Chris Wondolowski header.

McGoldrick provided another excellent assist in the 55th minute to put Ireland up 2-1, with Robbie Brady scoring the goal this time around.

Ireland compounded the USA's misery with a pair of late goals. First, James McClean's shot deflected off Geoff Cameron to make it 3-1.

Then Robbie Brady scored the goal of the night on this brilliant free kick.
