    Zuben sends an effort onto the railway tracks beyond the stand. That was a wild attempt.

    90 seconds to go!

    Northern Ireland 0-0 Switzerland

    Here comes Jordan Jones, who is taking his final instructions from Roy Carroll.

    He's on for the relentless Shayne Lavery, and that will definitely add some pace in the final five minutes.

    The Swiss respond with two subs of their own. Michael Aebischer and Jordan Lotomba replace Denis Zakaria and Silvan Widmer.

    Ali McCann, one of the smallest players on the pitch, rises to head the corner away. Brave defending.

    That was Conor Bradley's 'moment' as a senior international!

    He tries a nice Cruyff turn but slips, but instead of giving up he charges Ricardo Rodriguez's clearance down with a brilliant block.

    That was one of the biggest cheers of the night!

  12. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 21:21 British Summer Time 8 September 2021

    Northern Ireland 0-0 Switzerland

    Ali McCann fizzes in a cross and it strikes Nico Elvedi before going out for a corner. The fans behind the goal yell for a penalty but the referee is unmoved.

    Replays show it hit the thigh of the Swiss defender.

    Another bright performance from the Preston man.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:16 British Summer Time 8 September 2021

    Northern Ireland 0-0 Switzerland

    Jordan Thompson makes way for the returning George Saville, who should add some fresh legs into the tiring NI midfield.

    Northern Ireland 0-0 Switzerland

    Switzerland win a free-kick 30 yards from goal. They look like they're going to have a pop so Dion Charles is the draught excluder under the wall.

    Rodriguez, in a chorus of boos, steps up to hit it but it's straight at Peacock-Farrell.

    As you were.

    I think Northern Ireland are tiring. They are defending well but are not getting out of their own half. I think we need more fresh legs on. Switzerland are starting to get on top.

    Ricardo Rodriguez empties Dion Charles as the striker gets in front of the defender near the halfway line.

    He's become the pantomime villain after his role in the infamous 2017 penalty incident, but he's somehow avoided a yellow card for that one.

    Northern Ireland 0-0 Switzerland

    It's been a much quieter start to the second half, both on the pitch and in the stands, but the fans - particularly those in the Kop - are starting to find their voice.

    Amidst what has been an electric atmosphere, the fans have taken their chance on a few occasions to remind the Irish FA of their unhappiness with their ticket prices for this game.

    It's a debate which may run on, but the fans are largely concentrating on the job in hand - which is giving the home side as much vocal backing as possible.

    It's impossible to call how this match will go at the minute. A draw against Switzerland is good as a standalone result, but in the context of the group Northern Ireland could really do with a win.

    It's finely balanced.
