Match report
Northern Ireland beat Ukraine 1-0 at Windsor Park after Terry Devlin scored the only goal in the 68th minute. The home side then saw out the game after a VAR decision had already denied them in the first half.
The first half ended goalless. Jamie Donley had a strike ruled out after a VAR review in the 23rd minute.
Devlin, set up by Ethan Galbraith, put Northern Ireland ahead on 68 minutes. Ukraine responded with two changes on 72 minutes as Heorhii Sudakov and Roman Yaremchuk went off for Gennadiy Synchuk and Igor Krasnopir. Northern Ireland then sent on Patrick Kelly for Devlin on 80 minutes. Ukraine made another change on 81 minutes, with Oleg Ocheretko replaced by Egor Nazaryna. Northern Ireland made two more changes on 87 minutes, when Justin Devenny and Jamie Donley came off for Brodie Spencer and Josh Magennis, before Ukraine sent on Artem Dovbyk for Oleksii Kashchuk in stoppage time.
Ukraine had 62% of the possession and 593 passes to Northern Ireland's 364, but the hosts had more shots, 15 to 7, more on target, 5 to 2, and more expected goals, 1.63 to 0.86. Northern Ireland also won 4 corners to 2 and made 2 saves to Ukraine's 4.
Donley was booked in the 75th minute and Northern Ireland manager Michael Andrew Martin O'Neill was shown a yellow card in the 82nd minute.
