    Kenny Shiels has to go to the analysis and point out the small moments, which are pivotal against big teams. Against smaller teams, you can get away with it.

    Norway 4-1 Northern Ireland

    A lot was made of Ada Hegerberg in the build-up to this game, but the Northern Ireland defence really have done quite a good job on her.

    Rebecca Holloway is the latest to get a good block in on the Lyon star.

    The Northern Ireland fans, like their team, are not giving up.

    Norway 4-1 Northern Ireland

    Julie Blakstad may have received a telling off from Ada Hegerberg there.

    She got in down the left well and could have squared it to the striker but took on the shot instead and it was saved.

  8. Sister actpublished at 21:45 British Summer Time 7 July 2022

    Norway 4-1 Northern Ireland

    Worth noting that Northern Ireland now have two sisters on the field.

    Kirsty McGuinness was first off the bench and has now been joined by younger sister Caitlin.

    A lovely moment for the McGuinness family.

  9. Salvation for Sjogrenpublished at 21:42 British Summer Time 7 July 2022

    Norway 4-1 Northern Ireland

    Martin Sjogren is well on his way to a first win as a manager at the Euros. This should go some way to exorcising the three defeats without a goal the Norway coach oversaw for his side at the finals in 2017.

    The Norway manager will be wanting his side to be more ruthless when they come up against England.

    Norway 4-1 Northern Ireland

    Norway sub Karina Saevik forces a smart save from Jackie Burns.

    It's been a very busy night for the NI keeper, but she has made some excellent stops.

    Simone Magill looked like she was in a fair bit of pain as she came off the pitch there.

    That will be one to keep an eye on.

    The pace of the game has dropped a little in the last few minutes - and Northern Ireland won't mind that at all.

    Kirsty McGuinness - she of the sweet left foot - comes off the bench for Northern Ireland to replace Rachel Furness.

    Natasha Dowie
    Reading and England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    That put a smile on my face. McFadden, who is 35, is up against the best player in the world in Hegerberg, just shoved her off the ball and come away with it. Lovely to see.
