    Simone Magill gets the goal her all-round performance has deserved.

    A fine effort it was, too, as she danced past a defender and slotted a confident finish beyond goalkeeper Magdalena Lekovska.

    Kirsty McGuinness enjoys a nice ovation from the crowd as the hat-trick girl is replaced by Jilly Beattie.

    Another great night in a green shirt for the Reds winger.

  5. That deserved a goalpublished at 20:27 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2021

    Northern Ireland 6-0 North Macedonia

    Superb technique from the hard-working Simone Magill to turn inside and get a low shot away from just inside the box.

    It went just the wrong side of the post from the point of view of a player who has not stopped working all night at Seaview.

    And suddenly it's six.

    A low cross from Lauren Wade and Rebecca Holloway controlled her finish well to guide it home.

    Two quickfire goals give a more realistic look to the scoreline.

    Simone Magill has been involved in every one of Northern Ireland's goals. Her link-up play has been immense.

    Kirsty McGuinness - take a bow.

    The classy winger completes her hat-trick with a tap-in from a Simone Magill cross.

  9. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:21 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2021

    Northern Ireland 4-0 North Macedonia

    Marissa Callaghan squeezes a cross in from the right and Simone Magill pokes a looping header towards goal, but it comes back off the crossbar.

    There has been no lack of chances for the hosts in this second half but they just haven't been able to find the target and add to their first-half tally.

  12. NI 15-0 up on aggregatepublished at 20:16 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2021

    Northern Ireland 4-0 North Macedonia

    It's worth remembering that this is the second time in five days these sides have met in World Cup qualifying.

    So far, after almost 150 minutes of action across the two games, Northern Ireland are 15-0 up on aggregate.

    That 11-0 victory last week was a biggest ever for a NI women's side.

  13. First effort from the visitorspublished at 20:13 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2021

    Northern Ireland 4-0 North Macedonia

    North Macedonia come close to grabbing an unlikely goal.

    Aleksandra Markovska caught her shot from distance really well, but it drifted just wide of the post.

    Something to give the Macedonians hope at least.

  14. Another chance missedpublished at 20:10 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2021

    Northern Ireland 4-0 North Macedonia

    That's three big chances Northern Ireland have had in the first five minutes of the second half.

    This time, Simone Magill was on the stretch as she just couldn't convert a low cross from the imperious Kirsty McGuinness.

  15. McGuinness actually misses onepublished at 20:09 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2021

    She has been deadly so far, but Kirsty McGuinness has just missed a decent chance for her hat-trick.

    It was on her left foot but, under pressure from a challenge, she is not able to find the net.

  16. 'Positive move from Shiels'published at 20:07 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2021

    I actually thought the game was crying out for a Joely Andrews, someone who can really pick a pass. It's a really positive move from Kenny Shiels.

  17. Two changes for Northern Irelandpublished at 20:07 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2021

    Northern Ireland 4-0 North Macedonia

    Northern Ireland boss has made two changes as the second half gets underway.

    Ciara Waitling and Joely Andrews are on in place of Rebecca McKenna and Sarah McFadden.

    And within nine seconds, Northern Ireland almost get their fifth goal. Kirsty McGuinness delivers an inviting cross from the left but Lauren Wade cannot capitalise at the back post.
