Full-time 

Armenia 0-1 Ireland

Roars of delight from the visitors bench ring around the ground as Ireland hold out to win in Yerevan. 

Stephen Kenny's side were utterly dominant for 70 minutes, finally scoring the opener through Waterford's Zach Elbouzedi shortly after the hour mark. 

Dara O'Shea's sending off on a straight red card - after he clipped Armenian attacker Melkonyan when the latter was through on goal - turned the game into an entirely different kind of operation in the final 15 minutes. 

Ireland survived a couple of scares in a nervy finale but held on to claim a deserved fourth win of the campaign.
