Irish heartbreak as Czech Republic win on penalties

Republic of Ireland's World Cup hopes were cruelly and heartbreakingly dashed as Czech Republic came from 2-0 down - to then beat them on penalties.
Heimir Hallgrimsson's side had a two-goal lead in Prague and were four minutes away from hanging onto it - before Wolves defender Ladislav Krejci headed in a corner to force extra-time.
