Gavin Bazunu 6 - Rightly absolved of blame for an early penalty and did well on his second cap
Seamus Coleman 6 - Asking a lot with third game in a week but the skipper stuck to the task
Shane Duffy 6 - Dropped for the qualifiers but no glaring errors on his return to the team
Dara O'Shea 7 - Vote of confidence to stay in the team and turned in another solid display
Cyrus Christie 6 - Wing-back applied pressure up the line but second-half shot lacked punch
Jeff Hendrick 5 - Point to prove having been axed of late and was steady without taking charge
Jayson Molumby 5 - Great energy levels but couldn’t close down Muntari goal for the equaliser
James McClean 7 - Opened the scoring early on and didn’t play like a man only back from injury
Robbie Brady 5 - Early shot and involved in the goal but forced off injured after 22 minutes
Shane Long 6 - The veteran’s runs in behind stretched Qatar but he fluffed a first-half shot
Daryl Horgan 6 - Frustrated to miss out on qualifiers but all action first-half showing until replaced
