If we give Kosovo this space and time, they can pass the ball about at their leisure. We don't know what their defence are like yet because we haven't tested them.
Kosovo 2-0 Northern Ireland
Dan Ballard does really well to cut out a sneaky pass by Milot Rashica.
That was nearly like a knife through butter.

Northern Ireland had actually responded quite well and probably showed as much energy in the seven minutes after first falling behind as they have in all three of these Nations League games so far.
Glentoran winger Conor McMenamin was looking lively and threatening, but that second goal has properly knocked the wind out of the visitors' sails.
It's a massive blow for Ian Baraclough and his players on a night when they came into this match under so much pressure after two abject performances.
You wonder where it goes for Baraclough and his team at this stage. You wonder, and you'd worry as well.

Commentator Michael McNamee has described this as a horror show. That's probably being polite.

Fresh from his first goal for his country, Zymer Bytyqi is full of confidence and has a go from 25 yards but it's easily held by Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

It's all Kosovo. They're getting the ball, being positive and are going forward. They're doing what we need to do.
Zymer Bytyqi (20 mins)
Yikes...
Conor McMenamin gets done by Milot Rashica and he plays in a deep cross.
Zymer Bytyqi gets the better of Brodie Spencer and he volleys past Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
Northern Ireland are in big, big trouble.
Kosovo 1-0 Northern Ireland
Kosovo go twice in a matter of seconds! Lirim Kastrati lashes an effort into the body of Brodie Spencer, who dind't know a lot about it but he did well to get in the way.
Milot Rashica powers an effort on goal moments later but Bailey Peacock-Farrell keeps it out with his foot.
The flag is up but it's a great stop!

We need to get some momentum into the game, but so far that isn't happening at all.
Kosovo 1-0 Northern Ireland
McCann's third corner of the night finds Dan Ballard but his header is well, well over.
That goal seems to have sparked Northern Ireland into life.
Kosovo 1-0 Northern Ireland
It's good build-up play and George Saville's shot is deflected over the top.
Brodie Spencer and Conor McMenamin did well to help create the chance.
Kosovo 1-0 Northern Ireland
Elsewhere in this Nations League group, Greece are 1-0 up against Cyprus as they look to consolidate their place at the top.
Kosovo 1-0 Northern Ireland
Ali McCann whips in another corner but Jonny Evans' looping header lands just beyond the net.
That's better!
Kosovo 1-0 Northern Ireland
That was NOT the start that Northern Ireland wanted.
Kosovo are ranked 107th in the world rankings and they lead Ian Baraclough's men.
Vedat Muriqi (9 mins)
Vedat Muriqi hits it low to Bailey Peacock-Farrell's left and the hosts have the lead!
Kosovo 0-0 Northern Ireland
John O'Neill
Former Northern Ireland defender on BBC Radio Ulster
Kosovo look really comfortable on the ball which is worrying. They're stroking the ball around really well.
Kosovo 0-0 Northern Ireland
Warren Feeney
Former Northern Ireland striker on BBC Radio Ulster
We've got to find a way to get some decent service into our front two. It's going to be tough.
Kosovo 0-0 Northern Ireland
PENALTY TO KOSOVO!
Steven Davis catches Rashica and the referee points to the spot!
Kosovo 0-0 Northern Ireland
Conor McMenamin does well to spin away from his marker down the left. That was great.
Less so was the ball in by Steven Davis which goes out for a goal kick.
