Ireland and Senegal played out a 1-1 draw in an international friendly match at the Aviva on Friday night.
A much-changed Irish side, missing several key players, displayed flashes of promise throughout.
Kasey McAteer marked his full debut with a goal in the 21st minute, slotting home for Ireland after his initial header was saved.
Senegal, also rotating their squad ahead of a clash with England, drew level in the 82nd minute through Ismaila Sarr.
Despite sharing the spoils, Ireland's performance under new manager Heimir Hallgrimsson offered reasons for optimism.
However, disagreements among Irish players on the pitch highlighted a need for improvement.
