goals from Kevin Doyle and Aiden McGeady helped trigger the Republic of Ireland in a match of Euro 2012 and a second-place play-off with Armenia. Doyle in the seventh minute strike and drive 20 minutes on McGeady, which was deflected home by Ildefons Lima defense were inadequate to ensure a 2-0 victory that was more comfortable than the score indicates.
However, the Russian victory over Slovakia in Zilina means that three points against Andorra on Tuesday will assure them top of Group B and automatic qualification for the finals next summer.
In the unlikely event that Dick Advocaat's men lose to minnows Ireland could reform beating Armenia in Dublin, but the most realistic scenario is that a point will be enough to keep Remote Armenians and the team of Giovanni Trapattoni delivery in the playoffs.
However, the Italian will be without left-back Stephen room in Aviva Stadium after picking up his second yellow card of the season injured and Kevin Kilbane, who presented the manager selection with sore head. Woe Ward side, Trapattoni will have been happy enough with what he saw in the stadium small community like Ireland had the eighth successive clean sheet.
Ireland came to Andorra la Vella know nothing other than a routine victory could be fatal to their hopes to the end of next summer, and is also aware that even a maximum of six points away from their last two games could be good enough to book a play-off. In this case, the prospect of something, but an away win effectively disappeared in 20 minutes than men Trapattoni took the game by the scruff of the neck.
Andorrapart-time could have been behind in the second minute had not blocked a shot from Lima Robbie Keane, goalkeeper Gomes and Josep was a man relieved two minutes later when, after shedding Ireland's captain initial effort, followed hit the crossbar.
- If, Gomes white sheet lasted three minutes. Doyle joined unknowingly Keane goal blocked shot and was alert enough to react first, when John O'Shea headed the ball into the danger zone and get the tenth international goal.
Andorra offered little as an attacking threat, but the central defender had already addressed Emili Garcia on a free kick and Sergio Moreno Lima tested Given with a company struck a free kick.
The only disappointment for Ireland Ward was 31 minutes of caution for diving and the wider implications for both the player and his team.
