Blackpool's Shayne Lavery in action for Northern Ireland against Hungary - live updates from Windsor Park

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.

Almost for Lavery! He's been such a menace since coming on. Dion Charles is then denied from close range.

Northern Ireland have three minutes to rescue themselves something from the game.

Trai Hume's header is kept out from Shayne Lavery's cross. Northern Ireland pushing for a late equaliser.

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.

Shayne Lavery glances a near post header just wide.

Typical Lavery run to get across his marker at the front post.

Dan Ballard is replaced by Trai Hume, who is on for his senior debut. The defender plays his football for Sunderland.

Dan Ballard goes down in the Hungary box. No penalty.

Looked to be an appeal out of hope more than anything.

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.

The atmosphere has gone a little flat now, Northern Ireland could do with a late spark to get them going again.

Otherwise this one looks to be fizzling out.

Shayne Lavery and Dion Charles up front together is fun to watch. Both of them never stop running.

He’s barely been on 60 seconds and Shayne Lavery is already forcing the Hungarian backline into some hurried clearance.

That’s the Lavery we know and love.

Shayne Lavery is on! It’s a 10th cap for the striker and he’s got just over 20 minutes to grab a goal...

Former Seasider Jordan Thompson also enters the fray.

Georger Saville and Stuart Dallas are on, but there’s still no Shayne Lavery.

Paddy Lane is one of the two players to make way.

Roland Sallai capitalises on a defensive mix-up. Looked to be a poor back pass from Niall McGinn.

Paddy Lane’s attempted cross from the left flank almost deceives the keeper and drops over his head! But it’s onto the roof of the net instead.

Hungary have come out of the blocks well at the start of the second-half, getting into some promising positions in the final third.

Northern Ireland are holding firm though.
