    "It's deserved, it has to be. A brilliant piece of play. The build up was fantastic. The keeper made a great save and then McGinn has stuck it in the back of the net.

    "McGinn following up, it's superb play and the two goal margin means an awful lot as well, not just the three points."

    GOAL - Ukraine 0-2 Northern Irelandpublished at 18:52 British Summer Time 16 June 2016

    Niall McGinn

    Game. Set. Match! Northern Ireland seal a famous victory in style!

    Josh Magennis dances into space on the right, keeping his composure to pull back to Stuart Dallas. His curling shot is blocked by Andriy Pyatov, but the Ukraine keeper is powerless to stop Niall McGinn sliding in the second.

    Yevhen Konoplyanka flies down the left flank...last chance for Ukraine...can he deliver? No! He shanks it out for a goal kick.

    Daniel Woodley: This would be the biggest result in the history of Northern Ireland football. Every player has given their all for the shirt

    Whistles from the Northern Ireland fans as Ukraine pump the ball forward again. Then huge cheers from the same supporters greet a foul on Jonny Evans as he jumps for a high ball. Almost there...

    Finally Northern Ireland make that final substitution. A few more seconds are wasted as Paddy McNair comes on

    Michael McGovern to the rescue again, punching clear a slingshot into the box. Concentration, concentration, concentration.

    Where has this come from?? Northern Ireland must see out SIX minutes of stoppage time.

    "The pressure is building from Ukraine but they just cannot seem to get that bit of quality when they are getting their shots off."

    Into the last minute of normal time. Most of the play is in the Northern Ireland half. Still got any fingernails??

    "McGovern does everything right, parrying the ball away into space."

    I hope Michael McGovern is on a saves bonus. He's made plenty of important interventions in the second half. He palms clear a stinging shot from Andriy Yarmolenko.

    All sorts of chaos on the Northern Ireland touchline. Paddy McNair is stripped and ready to come on, Stuart Dallas to be replaced. But Dallas is shoved back on the pitch by Michael O'Neill, then is booked for time-wasting. Ukraine are furious at the delay. Dallas stays on, McNair must wait.

    "Michael McGovern defends his line well and can just get across to smother the ball in his arms.

    "I would now take Oliver Norwood off to give a little more defensive edge in the final third."

    Half a chance for Ukraine. Yevhen Konoplyanka whips in a dreamy cross from the left, team-mate Olexandr Zinchenko - who has just come on - arrives on cue. But he can't place his header past Michael McGovern and the Irish survive.

    As our man Gerry rightly points out, Conor Washington needs replacing by some fresh legs. On comes Josh Magennis.

    "Conor Washington is beginning to look a bit tired, he's put a great shift in and I think that's why Kyle Lafferty is warming up down below us."
