Irelands Under-15 side lost to Turkey for the second time this week on Thursday at Whitehall.
The Republic went into the game looking for a good result after been defeated 2-1 by the Turks on Tuesday.
Striker Karadeniz netted the only goal of the game after 16 minutes with a terrific volley from 25 yards out but Ireland could not make their second pressure count with an equaliser.
Substitute Greg Cunningham had two tremendous chances to level the match after the break but on each occasion he drilled the ball wide of the goal after receiving a pass on the left side of the penalty area.
Irelands Karl Shepard was particularly lively in the first half and was unlucky not to get something from the many opportunities he carved out.
His best effort saw him strike a superb volley from the edge of the box which the visiting keeper Emre Kangi managed to palm over for a corner.
Irelands next set of games takes place on June 2nd and 3rd in Aberyswth, Wales where they will compete in a tri-nations series with Northern Ireland and hosts Wales.
