“After a Stinging 5-1 Defeat, Can Northern Ireland Rise from the Ashes of Their Isak Nightmare?”
Northern Ireland, meanwhile, conceded more goals in Tuesday’s defeat than they had across their last eight internationals combined (four), since a 5-1 loss to Spain last June.
Speaking after the game, O’Neill praised his players’ application and outlined his view that the final scoreline did not truly reflect the balance of play.
“We obviously didn’t come here to have a scoreline like we had tonight, but we knew it would be a tough game,” said O’Neill.
“In all honesty, the attitude of the team was great. They never stopped trying to play. It was a tough night but that’s why we took a game like this.
