IT was an eventful afternoon for Ipswich Town's Owen Garvan in Lithuania yesterday.
The Town star scored one and had a penalty saved as the Republic of Ireland Under-21s finished strongly to claim a comfortable 3-0 win.
Three goals in the last 15 minutes gave Don Givens' side a convincing victory.
Accrington's Jimmy Ryan broke the deadlock in the friendly international, before Ipswich's Owen Garvan doubled the advantage.
An own goal wrapped up the success.
Garvan saw a 55th-minute penalty, awarded after Viktor Pasin handled Eddie Nolan's header across goal, saved by goalkeeper Vytautas Cerniauskas.
