Ireland v Armenia LIVE score updates from World Cup clash in Dublin
Ferguson's fourth goal in five games secured a narrow 1-0 win over Armenia, who played with 10 men after a red card, preserving Ireland's chance to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
- Republic of Ireland beat Armenia 1-0 at the Aviva Stadium, with Evan Ferguson's close-range header sealing the win.
- Needing three points to stay alive, the Republic of Ireland national team secured a crucial win that makes the Portugal visit to Dublin next month and Hungary in Budapest more meaningful.
- In the 52nd minute, Armenia captain Tigran Barseghyan was sent off for headbutting Finn Azaz, and with 20 minutes remaining Azaz rolled a short corner to Will Smallbone for the decisive delivery.
- Manager Heimir Hallgrimsson said he was frustrated that his side failed to `finish the game off` earlier, while Henri Avagyan made several important saves as the Republic of Ireland national team held on for their first Group F victory.
- Three wins from the final three games are a must for the Republic of Ireland national team, but a Hungary national team win in Armenia next month could eliminate them if they lose to the Portugal national team at home.
