    Austria 2-1 Northern Ireland

    Northern Ireland debutant Ali McCann to Sky Sports: "I thought we played well and deserved something from the match.

    "There were positive signs. We worked on our shape in the days leading up to the game and it worked well, limiting them to not many chances until the final 10 minutes.

    "We put so much into the game and we're disappointed we didn't hold on.

    "It was tough. I was nervous going into the game. I felt comfortable once I got into it."

    You can't fault Franco Foda's substitutions. Both goals and assists were by subs.

    Two of Adrian Grbic's five touches were goals or assists.

    Northern Ireland will be relegated if Romania are handed three points - or even one point - for the game against Norway that couldn't happen today.

    NI need to beat Romania anyway on Wednesday to have any chance.

    Adrian Grbic

    Oh no.

    It's another goal involving two Austrian substitutes. Northern Ireland try to play Adrian Grbic offside from Marko Arnautovic's pass - but they fail - and Grbic slots home.

    The Austrian goalscorer and the player who assisted him had only been on the pitch about three minutes.

    It's the only touch Louis Schaub has had.
