On that Duffy goal, the Sevilla defender commented:
"I knew that I had to jump straight up and lean back to get to the ball. As I jumped, I knew Shane Duffy was on my back. "Had the ball been a foot further forward, I would have reached it and not him. But such is football."https://twitter.com/RTEsoccer/status/1137094493977452544 Kjaer then made a comment that many footballers have mistakenly uttered when referring to Irish teams.
"We had the opportunities to win the game," Kjaer began, "but we knew good British teams can score goals from dead balls."As so many Irish footballers ply their trade in the UK, some look upon them as being part of the same culture, especially when it comes to playing philosophies. Kjaer and his teammates - as Ireland captain Seamus Coleman pointed out - knew that Duffy was coming but they were powerless to stop him.
