Northern Ireland vs Finland

Northern Ireland take on Finland at Windsor Park in Michael O'Neill's first home game since returning as manager.

When Northern Ireland are at their best the stadium has a great atmosphere, there’s a real strong bond between the players and the fans. I don’t know how it will affect me tomorrow, I know we have to be focused. “I’m just looking forward to the game. The atmosphere will be brilliant. O'Neill will be demanding another positive performance in front of a bumper crowd at Windsor. Northern Ireland kicked off their Euro campaign with a 2-0 win against San Marino on Thursday night.

Report as Northern Ireland fell to a 1-0 loss at home to Finland in their second Euro 2024 qualifier and Michael ONeills first home game of his second spell ...

The wing-back, on loan at Bolton from Liverpool, then cut the ball back for club-mate Dion Charles, but Thursday's goalscorer sent his shot over. Finland are back in action on June 16 when they face a Euro 2024 Qualifier at home to Slovenia - kick-off 5pm - before they host San Marino on June 19 - kick-off 5pm. Dion Charles had the ball in the net in the 62nd minute, poking home from a corner, but referee Ivan Kruzliak blew for handball. That worked insofar that Charles was once again neat and tidy in his use of the ball at the base of midfield, while Bradley was the brightest spark going forward, but there seemed to be a lethargy about Northern Ireland's display. Northern Ireland could not produce a performance to match the occasion as Michael O'Neill's first home game back at Windsor Park ended in a 1-0 defeat to Finland.
