Mick McCarthy has challenged the Republic of Ireland to back up their hard-earned Euro 2020 qualifying point in Denmark with victory over Gibraltar tomorrow evening.
McCarthy was delighted with a 1-1 draw in Copenhagen on Friday, but knows there is no margin for error against the Group D minnows.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference in Dublin today, he said: "I told you I would have taken a draw, but we didn't go and settle for a draw, we weren't looking for that.
"In fact in 94 minutes, we were the one that looked more likely to score in the game on Friday night, despite they had missed chances, I get that.
"We went looking for a win and we have to back that up with a win tomorrow. We're at home."

Shane Duffy's late goal clinched the point at the Telia Parken Stadium, and skipper Seamus Coleman praised the Brighton defender's growing contribution to the national team.
Coleman said: "He has been getting better. He is willing to learn all the time. Even now, if he makes a mistake, he is willing to work on it.
"Never for one minute does he think he has made it, so that's what I like about him. He keeps working hard and he always has that. But his confidence on the pitch is there for everyone to see."
