Glenn Nyberg ended the match to loud cheers as the Republic of Ireland secured a major win over Portugal. Hungary's 1-0 victory over Armenia had increased pressure on Ireland prior to kick-off.

The result keeps Ireland's World Cup hopes alive and creates a decisive, winner-takes-all encounter in Budapest on Sunday afternoon. The upcoming match will determine which team advances to the World Cup play-off.
