O’Neill ‘positive’ as NI maintain unbeaten start

BBC Sport · 9 hours ago

Northern Ireland drew 0-0 with Hungary at Windsor Park, extending their unbeaten start in League B2 of the Nations League. Manager Michael O’Neill said he was positive about the result, praising his side’s performance and another clean sheet, though they could not create a clear chance to win.

Patrick Kelly hit the crossbar and Isaac Price tested Hungary goalkeeper Balazs Toth, while Hungary produced few clear opportunities and Pierce Charles made one late save. The draw leaves Northern Ireland joint-top with Ukraine on four points after two matches; they have kept eight clean sheets in their last 10 home games. O’Neill said both teams looked tired after Northern Ireland’s long trip to Georgia, and his side next face Ukraine in Slovakia on Friday.

  • Northern Ireland remain unbeaten after a 0-0 home draw with Hungary.
  • They share the top of League B2 with Ukraine on four points.
  • O’Neill praised the performance and clean sheet ahead of Friday’s Ukraine match.
