Speaking after the game, former Republic of Ireland boss McCarthy said: "I've got a disappointed dressing room in there. I'm disappointed not to have won. We broke brilliantly but just couldn't finish them of, and with their late equaliser it left us a bit nervy.
"We played well and should have won. We had plenty of chances, missed a penalty and hit the bar. I didn't expect us to dominate here as much as we did at times, but we should have finished the game off. We let them off the hook slightly."
