- 90'+6'That's all from Baku today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
- 90'+6'Following the relief provided by today's success - Stephen Kenny has now won his first competitive match in charge of his nation at the 13th attempt - Ireland will finish their campaign with matches at home to Portugal and away to Luxembourg in November. For Azerbaijan, defeat means they look destined to finish bottom of Group A next month.
- 90'+6'Ireland were ultimately good value for their three points after drawing the sting from an ambitious Azerbaijan team, and were rewarded for their enterprise on the break by sealing a first win of the World Cup qualifying process. At either end of the field, Bazunu and Robinson were the stars of the show for the Republic, while the hosts will rue their lack of penetration in the final third, which rendered their greater share of the ball meaningless in the final analysis.
