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.
The Boys in Green slumped to a 2-1 defeat in Yerevan, leaving Heimir Hallgrimsson's side with just one point from their first two matches.
Ireland captain Nathan Collins says it's difficult to pinpoint what went wrong:
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.
