That's all for this evening.

You can read Lauren McCann's report from Varazdin here as Northern Ireland leave it late against Croatia.

It's a little more comfortable for the Republic of Ireland, who hammered Georgia 6-0 to put one foot in the play-off round. You can read the report from that one here.

Keep an eye on the BBC Sport website for reaction and highlights from tonight's game.

If you want more football this evening, England are taking on Germany at Wembley.

Here's how Northern Ireland rescued a draw in injury-time.

It's all over in Varazdin.

Northern Ireland escape with a draw and it's all to play for ahead of the second leg.

That's a huge relief! Just based on how I think Croatia would have approached the second leg carrying a 1-0 lead.

I think Northern Ireland will feel more comfortable going into the game. It would have been very nervy and very edgy. I think there would have been too much riding on it for Northern Ireland.

That's a goal at both ends now for Izabela Lojna.

Five minutes into the game for Croatia, five minutes from the end of time at the wrong end.

Now, can Northern Ireland push on in the final four minutes of additional time?

Seven minutes of additional time!

Northern Ireland win a corner but it's not convincing and Croatia can clear.

It totally changes the face of it, when you're bringing a draw back to your home game rather than a defeat.

I think you would see a similar pattern from Croatia, a side that is setup to frustrate Northern Ireland in that second-leg.

1-1 starts to ask the question of them. How much do they really want to win this tie?

No matter what Northern Ireland do going forward, they really can't afford to concede a second heading into the second leg in Belfast on Tuesday.

Ivana Rudelic gets the better of Kelsie Burrows and is clear through on goal.

She goes early with her effort, and it fizzes past the post.

We're into the final five minutes of normal time.

There's a bit of a scramble in the area but Croatia manage to hack it clear.

It's back out to Howe, but Bacic manages to cut her cross out.

There's going to be a bit of injury time after the treatment to Dugdale, but we're into the final 10 minutes of normal time.

Unsurprisingly, Dugdale is going off after that one and she looks in a bit of discomfort.

Kelsie Burrows, who captained Cliftonville to the treble, is on in her place.

Antonia Dulcic is booked for clattering into Rachel Dugdale with a high foot.

That's a nailed on yellow card, maybe lucky it's not more.

The fact Dugdale dipped into it has probably saved her from a worse fate there.

She's only on the pitch two minutes.

Really good to see Megan Bell back. She's had a tough time with injuries, in and out of the squad due to that.

I know Tanya is a big fan of Megan and what she brings.

The longer she can stay fit the more important she is going to be for Northern Ireland over the next couple of years.

Casey Howe is straight into the action as she cuts inside but it's well over.

That's a bright introduction.
