Celtic striker scored twice in first half against ultra-defensive minnows
Among the new faces were senior debutant Armstrong, wingers Vata and Tony Springett, and defenders James Abankwah and James Furlong.
Ireland probed early, with Armstrong and Vata forcing Pietro Amici into a double save. When that pair came forward again a minute later, there was no denying them. Ireland began to become frustrated by their own lack of killer touch and sloppy passing against the five-man San Marino backline. With time all but up, Vata was on high alert, taking the corner quickly, exchanging a one-two with Healy and bursting into the box. His shot crept inside Amici’s near post.
