7:39 pm
poor run of form, windsor park was on full boys for the game against bosnia. and the greener whites responded immediately and should have had a penalty and opening minutes. bosnia was rattled and the timing of the challenges were in question. all pressure with the home side and the only thing missing was the finish. but with international football, if you cannot take your opportunities, chances are that your opponents will. elvis terigi shook up opponents will. elvis terigi shook up the tie after capitalising on a defensive mix—up. there was still a fire in northern ireland with a spark of hope of a late comeback. in the end it was not meant to be and northern ireland will want to bounce back in tuesday's friendly against israel. later tonight serena williams
