The Republic of Ireland scored two penalties in three minutes as they drew with fellow Euro 2016 qualifiers Slovakia in Dublin. <br /> <br />The Irish were caught out at the back when Miroslav Stoch put Slovakia ahead. <br /> <br />Shane Long converted after a fortunate penalty award against keeper Matus Kozacik and James McClean also netted from the spot to put the hosts 2-1 up. <br /> <br />Slovakia levelled just before the break when Peter Pekarik's cross went in off Ireland defender Paul McShane. <br /> <br />The second penalty looked clear as Liverpool centre-half Martin Skrtel tripped Long in the area. <br /> <br />But the earlier award was harsh as Kozacik appeared to have made contact with the ball and Southampton striker Long at the same time.
