      A campaign to forget…

      A Valentino Lazaro goal with the last kick of the game won the Nations League clash for Austria against Northern Ireland (1-2) at Windsor Park. It was a heartbreaking end after what had been a positive performance from Michael O'Neill's side.

      Steven Davis failed to cut out a cross from the left and Schlager darted in front of Saville to fire a low shot across goal and into the bottom right-hand corner.

      The teams were level in the 56th minute. Jordan Jones slipped the ball into the path of Corry Evans, who took a touch before striking a low shot which deflected off Martin Hinteregger to beat Lindner - Evans' first goal for Northern Ireland in eight years.

      But the Austrians had the final say when, in stoppage time, replacement Lazaro, scored the winning goal.

      Michael O'Neill's side finish pointless at the bottom of the group - their relegation had already been confirmed before kick-off - and it was their fourth straight loss at Windsor Park.
