"Here is how the Ireland players fared in their dismal 2-1 defeat away to Armenia in World Cup qualifying, with hopes of the Boys in Green reaching North America now all but over after a disastrous night in Yerevan."
"Was outsmarted by Eduard Spertsyan's spot kick and the Brentford man couldn't do anything about Grant-Leon Ranos' tap in."
"Several big saves late on ensured it wasn't a rout."
Ireland suffered a 2-1 defeat in Yerevan against Armenia, a result that all but ends their chances of qualifying for the World Cup in North America. Armenia opened the scoring from a penalty converted by Eduard Spertsyan after Ireland were outsmarted by the attackers. Grant-Leon Ranos added a second with a simple tap-in that the Irish defense and the Brentford goalkeeper could not prevent. Ireland reduced the deficit but failed to find an equalizer. The visiting goalkeeper produced several late saves that prevented a heavier scoreline.
