Northern Ireland's Nations League despair grew deeper as they lost to Kosovo in Pristina which caused some fans to openly turn on Ian Baraclough.

Early strikes from Vedat Muriqi and Zymer Bytyqi, the first a penalty, put Kosovo in control. Eleven minutes later things got worse, with Rashica again the central figure. Slovenia overcame the sending-off of defender Miha Blazic to grab their first point of their Group B4 campaign as they held Norway to a 0-0 draw in Oslo. There was a lifeline on the stroke of half-time and it was the 18-year-old Spencer – the youngest player to start for Northern Ireland since Josh Carson, then 17, in May 2011 – who created it, showing confidence going forward having being targeted at the back.

Sections of the Green and White Army sang 'Cheerio' after the manager went to acknowledge the travelling support at the end of a match in which the final score made it look better than it really was for Northern Ireland.
