    Looking at the winning goal again, Aimbetov collected the ball midway through his own half, nutmegged Craig Cathcart, beat a sliding Paddy McNair, which in turn held up Ciaron Brown, and the striker tucked the ball home past the unguarded Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

    A very avoidable goal to concede.

    Kazakhstan's players are celebrating in front of the small contingent of travelling fans in the corner of Windsor Park.

    They are certainly going to enjoy their night in Belfast.

    I can't see us coming back from this unless the other teams implode.

    Late drama again, but once more it's not gone Northern Ireland's way....

    It comes to nothing and we're into the final minute.

    Time for one last chance?

    To be honest there is not a lot between the teams but they took their chance and we didn't.

    Michael O'Neill looks slightly stunned by this on the touchline. That tells you everything.

    We've just gone to sleep again and I don't know how many times we do that. We did it against Denmark on Friday for the goal.

    Kazakhstan are now sooooo deep.

    Shea Charles tries to dink a ball through but he's over hit it and it's out for a goal kick.

    We've seen this happen time and time again. We just fail to put the opposition away and then get stung at the end.

    To be fair to Abat Aimbetov it's a great run and finish but he really shouldn't have been allowed to get that far.

    GOAL - Northern Ireland 0-1 Kazakhstanpublished at 21:30 British Summer Time 19 June 2023

    Abat Aimbetov (88 mins)

    No words....

    Honestly...

    It's an absolute disaster for Northern Ireland.

    Aimbetov breaks through a number of challenges, a sliding Paddy McNair gets in the way of Ciaron Brown and the striker keeps his cool to slot home.

    Deary me.

    It's a poor delivery and it's straight out for a goal kick.

    That's not what the Green and White Army were hoping for.

    And now Shayne Lavery wins a free-kick deep in the away half.

    Price stands over it...

    Shatsky, who didn't have a lot to do in the opening 75 minutes, is alert to pluck the ball out of the air as McMenamin heads the bal across goal.

    Lavery was lurking.
