Troy Parrott scored a first half double to seal victory.
Republic of Ireland kept their World Cup qualifying hopes alive with a 2-0 win at home to Portugal last night.
The Boys in Green secured the victory thanks to Troy Parrott's first half brace, with Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo receiving a red card for a dig on Dara O'Shea.
A win in Hungary on Sunday will guarantee a play off for Heimir Hallgrimsson's side, with the Hungarian's winning 1-0 away to Armenia last night.
Athlone Town Women's Assistant Manager Gordon Brett feels Hallgrimsson will be feeling regret over the Armenia result earlier in the campaign.
He says this result came out of nowhere:
