Jonathan Rea opens a 36-point hole in the World Superbike Championship after his victory in the Aragon race
With Jonny Evans and Jamal Lewis away from the team of the day, Northern Ireland has been exposed several times in the back with Bailey Peacock-Farrell, the hero of Friday’s 1-1 draw in Romania, which he could not do as Mohamed Elyounoussi. Erling Haaland and Alexander Sorloth scored early goals.
In a frantic opening sequence, Paddy McNair had time to score the draw in the 5th minute, but Sorloth and Haaland’s goals in the second half allowed Northern Ireland to fit into the home for the first time since 2003.
Played amid the echoes of an empty Windsor Park, in fact it was not the night Ian Baraclough expected in his first house game in rate, and will be a dazzling delight with the Euro 2020 qualifying play-offs in Bosnia and Herzegovina. will be next on the October calendar.
Steven Davis covered himself to win his 119th international match, equalling Pat Jennings’ record in Northern Ireland, but the team’s blade contained many surprises.
Jonny Evans got lost Friday in Romania for what has been described as “personal reasons”, but had trained with his teammates after his return and would have been available: Leicester posted a message of good luck at his center on social media. Morning.
But he was absent from the team of the day with Jamal Lewis, norwich’s left-back who moved to Newcastle, and Baraclough said before the start that any of the players had come out with “problems. “
That left Daniel Ballard, who had spent much of his time since his impressive Bucharest debut in an ice bath after the cramps, to start anew along Craig Cathcart with Shane Ferguson and Michael Smith from rear positions. .
But the repaired rear line was monitored without delay, with Norway taking the lead too gently just two minutes later.
A long ball in the most sensible discovered the run of an unrocketed Elyounoussi inside the area and had time to tap him before firing past the helpless Peacock-Farrell.
Moments later, there is hope, as Norwegian goalkeeper Rune Jarstein can only push Conor Washington’s shot to the McNair trail that hit the rebound.
But it’s a very transient pardon. Two minutes later, the Northern Ireland zaguero was unable to handle a diagonal ball in the area and worked well for Haaland to throw an unstoppable left-handed shot at the house from 20 yards.
In the 19th minute, the overwhelming ball came from the left, but the result was the same as an un scored Sorloth he found hatam Aleesami’s center to kick from close range.
Baraclough seemed to be making a difference at half-time, sending Liam Boyce by Ballard as McNair entered the defensive.
But two minutes after the reboot, things only got worse when Haaland beat Cathcart for his speed by chasing a ball above the top, then took the side kick for Sorloth to open a room for visitors.
Haaland had his moment before the hour, and backed up too simple for Norway to make its way through one-touch football before Omar Elabdellaoui directed the ball to Borussia Dortmund’s player to pick him up over the failed Peacock-Farrell.
It was not the night of Northern Ireland, a highlight when Davis, who had the opportunity to score his appearance for a purpose, threw a shot much later.
