Under-21s: Northern Ireland 1-3 Macedonia

September 10, 2012 – 9:00 am

A spirited second half performance from Macedonia ended Northern Ireland under-21s’ hopes of qualifying for next year’s European Championships completely. The hosts still had the smallest chance (really very tiny mathematical chance) of gaining an unlikely place in the finals before the game but they were dashed by the visitors on Friday evening. Macedonia came back from a goal down to win comfortably and enhance their own qualification chances along the way.
