The match was a dead rubber with the hosts having already qualified for next summer's finals before kick-off. Third-placed NI also knew they were heading for the play-offs in March. With Wales beating Hungary 2-0 to qualify for the finals, it means Michael O'Neill's men will be away to Bosnia-Herzegovina in their first play-off match. Northern Ireland, who lost twice to Bosnia in the Nations League last, will face the Republic of Ireland or Slovakia in the play-off final. Manager O'Neill, who took over as Stoke City manager 10 days ago, has agreed to remain in charge of the international side for the play-off games.
