With #Germany winning 4-0 against whipping boys #Luxembourg, this is how Group A looks. And if you're a #NorthernIreland fan, you'll be absolutely delighted. Terrific night for the #GAWA in Belfast #NIRSVK #GERLUX #WCQ
Such a fun team, Northern Ireland. Seriously. :-) #nirsvk
FT #NorthernIreland 2-0 #Slovakia I Hrosovsky OG and Hume give NI massive 3 points in front of the #GAWA at Windsor #NIRSVK #WCQ
Oof, Bradley nearly doing a Ricky Villa there. #NIRSVK
Bradley attempting a Marseille roulette in the box. Love it 👏 His last action of the night as he goes of for Magennis and NI look to run down the clock #NIRSVK #WCQ
Big chance this for Slovakia. Freekick in range as Hrosovsky is replaced by Benes whilst Strelec is replaced by Mraz #NIRSVK #WCQ
10 years ago this week, the #GAWA were celebrating as Northern Ireland beat Greece 3-1 to qualify for Euro 2016. Will tonight have the same significance further down the line? 🤔 Either way, this would be a massive 3 points #NIRSVK #WCQ
If that decides it, the #SAFC man has earned a huge win ahead of Germany's visit to Windsor on Monday. What a finish it was too. Deft #NIRSVK #WCQ
YES NORTHERN IRELAND!!!!! What a goal! #NIRSVK
Dubravka comes for it, it's a weak punch. Hume volleys it over the #BurnleyFC 'keeper's head #NIRSVK #WCQ
If Northern Ireland do grab a 2nd, it's surely curtains for Slovakia. That may have been their best chance to do it though. We'll see. 10 mins to go #NIRSVK #WCQ
NI do look like they're starting to tire though. #GAWA will no doubt do their best to keep the encouragement going, but there might need to be more changes in the last 10 #NIRSVK #WCQ
Moments later, skipper Bradley is booked for a less bad challenge. That sees the #LFC man suspended for Monday's match with Germany. Big loss ahead of that game. Not justified, in my view #NIRSVK #WCQ
Spelling a bit off there. Should've been Gyomber. Good job I didn't misspell Schranz (that's close to a German slang word I'll not type in here 🤭) #NIRSVK #WCQ
Slovakia have a lad taking the throw ins who does a foul throw every time. #nirsvk
Do love a (fair) cruncher though, and Ali McCann delivers a good one. Sliding in well to prevent a counter #NIRSVK #WCQ
Michael O'Neill may well look to shuffle the pack, with Slovakia starting to come into the game. But NI still look terrific coming forward, as #WBA midfielder Price wins a corner #NIRSVK #WCQ
Huge chance for Slovakia. Strelec does everything right, but it goes mere millimetres wide of Peacock-Farrell's goal. Now the #BlackpoolFC loanee is down, having overstretched #NIRSVK #WCQ
