The Irish side qualified for the European Championship finishing with 21 points after three wins and two draws, shocking their opponents.
Meanwhile, Alyaksandr Khatskevich's crew have failed to qualify for the much-anticipated Euro tournament this summer, as they have now changed the gears with their sights set on the World Cup qualifying campaign that starts in September. In their last five appearances, the Eastern European side has managed to win only two, while drawing one and losing the other two.
