Full-time

Ireland, courtesy of two Eimear Cregan tackles, keep out the last wave of Azeri pressure and win the game 2-1; nervy ending but Ireland hold on and now look in great position to stay in the A division. They need just a point against Russia on Saturday morning to take one of those spots.

They can be denied should they lose and Azerbaijan or Scotland win by a few goals but this is a huge result, make no mistake.
