Emily Murphy's first international goal gave Ireland a 2-1 win in Turkey to secure second place in Nations League Group B2.
Murphy's 89th-minute winner after Busem Seker's own goal cancelled out Kader Hankar's opener put Ireland through to Tuesday night's home game against group leaders Slovenia, who were just three points behind.
After a spirited start from Ireland, it was the home side who had the first shot on target in the 11th minute when centre-back Seide Abrahamsson broke forward and tried to fire past Courtney Brosnan from a tight angle.
Lucy Quinn forced Selda Akgoz into the first save of the game with a long-range effort but the game came alive as the half-time whistle approached. Brosnan saved Mireille Sin before Akgoz showed all her skill to deal with Katie McCabe's curling effort and Arsenal's Champions League winner would have had his half-volley from a corner blocked on the line.
However, just three minutes after the break, Türkiye took the lead when Hankar passed to Ilayda Civelek and then burst into the penalty area to convert her pass.
The visitors levelled the scores with 10 minutes remaining when Seker headed Megan Campbell's long-range effort into his own net and they were given the upper hand in the final moments when Murphy capitalised on Abrahamsson's mistake to snatch the points.
