Devlin's first international goal gives Northern Ireland 1-0 win over Ukraine

Terry Devlin scored his first international goal as Northern Ireland beat Ukraine 1-0 at Windsor Park on Saturday 14 November to stay top of UEFA Nations League Group B2. The win leaves Michael O'Neill's side one point from promotion to League A.

Devlin breaks his duck

The 23-year-old struck in the 68th minute, leaving Ukraine goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin flat-footed with a shot from distance, according to Sky Sports. BBC Sport described it as a superb strike midway through the second half.

Devlin has scored four goals for Portsmouth this season.

A clean sheet keeps Northern Ireland on top

Hungary beat Georgia 2-0 earlier in the day to take over top spot in the group. Northern Ireland's victory returned them to the summit, with 11 points from five games.

The hosts remain the only side in the competition yet to concede. Sky Sports reports it was their fifth consecutive clean sheet, a first such run since 2017.

Pierce Charles made a superb late save to deny Danylo Sikan. In the first half, Jamie Donley had a goal ruled out for offside after VAR intervened.

The defeat ended Ukraine's hopes of progressing, and Sky Sports says they have now lost three straight matches for the first time in six years.

What comes next

Northern Ireland travel to Hungary on Tuesday, where a draw would be enough to earn promotion to League A. Even a defeat would leave them with a play-off in March.

According to Sky Sports, the team has also secured a pot two place in next month's Euro 2028 draw.

O'Neill and Donley both picked up late yellow cards that bring a suspension, so O'Neill will have to watch Tuesday's match from the stands.
