Ireland seized control of its World Cup qualifying group on Saturday, beating Austria 1-0 away then seeing rivals Wales and Serbia share the points after a dramatic end to their 1-1 draw in Cardiff. James McClean's 48th-minute goal in Vienna earned Ireland a third victory in four matches in Europe's Group D, and left fourth-place Austria facing an uphill task to secure the one automatic qualifying place on offer. Hours later in Cardiff, Gareth Bale put Wales ahead against Serbia with his 26th international goal and came close to sealing victory when he struck the base of the post with a shot in the 85th.
