FT Northern Ireland 1-0 Luxembourg | Donley first-half pen gives NI the win in front of the #GAWA at Windsor #NIRLUX #WCQ
That's surely a pen for Luxembourg. I felt it was anyway, but it wasn't given. Full-time whistle has gone. It's finished 1-0 #NIRLUX #WCQ
Price should've done much better there. He's basically on the penalty spot, but skies it. Poor from the #WBA midfielder #NIRLUX #WCQ
Avdusinovic (keep having to retype that) hits on straight at Hazard. Since then, McNair got himself booked. Thrilling stuff #NIRLUX #WCQ
Moris comes flying out again too. Marshall evaded him, but was too far wide to do anything against the onrushing defenders #NIRLUX #WCQ
Moris was off his line there, but Price couldn't make more of it. Won't matter either way now, surely #NIRLUX #WCQ
Dzogovic came on for Marvin Martins in what may be the dullest sub I've ever mentioned. Makes no difference. Two mins left #NIRLUX #WCQ
Sinani's off the ball reaction earns him a yellow card in what's looking like being a horrendous #WCQ campaign for Luxembourg. Zero points from six games #NIRLUX #WCQ
McConville picking up a booking for a foul on Barreiro. Freekick in a promising position for Luxembourg #NIRLUX #WCQ
Magennis shows great industry. Not bad for a 35 year-old. Intelligent play, but Price couldn't make anything of it. Solid defending from Luxembourg #NIRLUX #WCQ
Marshall and Magennis are on for Donley and McDonell for NI, whilst Luxembourg bring on Avdusinovic and Moreira in place of Dardari and Olesen #NIRLUX #WCQ
It's a dead rubber, but you'd think that a few of these players will be keen to force Michael O'Neill into a few selection dilemmas by the time March's #WCQ playoffs come around #NIRLUX
Lyons can't continue. The #KilmarnockFC midfielder will make way for #QPR's Paul Smyth. Second change of the night following Devlin's arrival in place of Bradley #NIRLUX #WCQ
Second time tonight. Still got the feeling that Northern Ireland need that second goal to finish the job. Can't see the away side scoring more than one tonight #NIRLUX #WCQ
Germany are 4-0 up at home to Slovakia at half-time thanks to goals from in-form #NUFC striker Woltemade, Gnabry and a double from SanΓ©. So that means Group A will finish like this as things stand... #GERSVK #NIRLUX #WCQ
HT Northern Ireland 1-0 Luxembourg | Donley has a goal disallowed for dispatching a pen to give the home side a half-time lead #NIRLUX #WCQ
And scores! 1-0 Northern Ireland to the delight of the #GAWA. Sends the 'keeper the wrong way #NIRLUX #WCQ
