Derry's James McClean wore the five jersey for Ireland in tribute to his former teammate McBride.

McClean was named as the Three Man of the Match following the scoreless draw.

The game finished 0-0, but was overshadowed by an incident that saw Republic of Ireland captain Seamus Coleman being stretchered off with a broken leg.
