  • Published

Northern Ireland manager Tanya Oxtoby said she was "proud" of her team's effort in their 2-0 defeat to Iceland in the first leg of their Nations League promotion/relegation play-off.

"We don't celebrate defeats, but we have to celebrate that performance," she told BBC Sport NI.

"Every player on that pitch delivered on what we asked and to concede from two set-pieces and nothing from open play probably shows the structure was right.

"The players were able to execute, so really proud of the performance tonight."
