Cardiff City forward Lee and Celtic midfielder Liam Miller have made their first starts for their country, with Manchester United-bound Miller linking up with old-hand Mark Kinsella in central midfield.

Tottenham's Gary Doherty is partnering skipper Kenny Cunningham in defence, with John O'Shea and Ian Harte named as full backs. The two Reids - Andy and Steven will fill the flanks ahead of them.
 
Ireland's best chance fell to Lee after 35 minutes, but his bicycle kick fell to the right and wide of Jerzy Dudek's posts.

Republic of Ireland: Given (Newcastle United); O’Shea (Manchester United), Cunningham (Birmingham City), Doherty (Tottenham Hotspur), Harte (Leeds United), S Reid (Blackburn Rovers), Kinsella (West Bromwich Albion), Miller (Celtic), A Reid (Nottingham Forest); Morrison (Birmingham City), Lee (Cardiff City).
