The visitors got their noses in front, after squandering several chances, with 16 minutes remaining when Fabian Schar advanced once again and played a fine one-two with Embolo before sliding a shot past Randolph and into the bottom corner.
However, the game was far from over and after Whelan had rattled the crossbar with a long-range piledriver, McGoldrick rose to meet McClean’s deflected 85th-minute cross to head home his first senior international goal to make it 1-1.
Ireland remain top of Group D on 11 points ahead of Denmark (on eight) and Switzerland (on five) but have played more games.
