There was better news for the under 21's with a win over Andorra.
The Republic of Ireland's hopes of qualifying for next summer's World Cup are all but over after last night's defeat to Armenia.

There was better news for the Ireland under-21s, as they beat Andorra by a goal to nil in qualifying for the 2027 European Championships.

It means Jim Crawford's side are two from two after last week's win over Moldova.
