Shayne Lavery in action for Northern Ireland - live updates
Key Events
- FT: Northern Ireland 0-1 Hungary
- Blackpool striker Shayne Lavery hoping to earn 10th international cap
- Fleetwood prospect Paddy Lane could make his debut
- Former Seasiders Dan Ballard and Jordan Thompson also in the squad
FULL TIME
Not to be for the home side, despite being the better side and creating the better chances by far.
Shayne Lavery made a real difference off the bench but he should be nice and fresh for Saturday now.
90+2 - Surely?!
Almost for Lavery! He's been such a menace since coming on. Dion Charles is then denied from close range.
88 - Close again!
Trai Hume's header is kept out from Shayne Lavery's cross. Northern Ireland pushing for a late equaliser.
87 - Close!
George Saville’s header is somehow kept out by the keeper following Jordan Thompson’s teasing cross.
Northern Ireland deserve a draw from this at least.
83 - Chance for Lavery!
Shayne Lavery glances a near post header just wide.
Typical Lavery run to get across his marker at the front post.
82 - Ballard withdrawn
Dan Ballard is replaced by Trai Hume, who is on for his senior debut. The defender plays his football for Sunderland.
79 - No penalty
Dan Ballard goes down in the Hungary box. No penalty.
Looked to be an appeal out of hope more than anything.
78 - Poor
That’s poor from Stuart Dallas, who almost gifts Hungary a second goal. Fortunately for Northern Ireland Craig Cathcart recovered to make a last-ditch block.
