The fifth-round Group 2 match between Northern Ireland and Ukraine in League B of the UEFA Nations League has ended. The hosts won 1-0 at Windsor Park in Belfast. François Letexier was the referee.
Northern Irish forward Jamie Donley’s 23rd-minute goal was ruled out for offside. Midfielder Terry Devlin scored Northern Ireland’s only goal in the 68th minute.
The victory takes Northern Ireland to 11 points and moves the team to the top of the group. It leads second-placed Hungary by one point. The two teams will meet in the final round.
Ukraine, on four points, remains third and has prematurely lost its chance to earn promotion to League A. Ukraine will face Georgia in the sixth round. Both final-round group matches will be played on November 17.
The match kicked off on November 14 at 22:45 Moscow time.
