- 90'+5'For Northern Ireland and Bulgaria though, the end of the road does not mean the end of their group - with both sides still able to have an impact on just who gets to Qatar the easy way. Yasen Petrov's side must play the Rossocrociati - and Ian Baraclough's team must face the Azzurri. Until the next time though, thank you for joining us - and have a great week!
- 90'+5'Both nations here surely knew that their prospects were numbered, but Switzerland's victory against Lithuania confirms that they and Italy will finish in the top two of UEFA Group C. Just who will qualify automatically remains to be seen - the pair will play each other next month.
- 90'+5'Victory celebrations spill across the bench for the hosts - they've picked up their second win of their their Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign. But it does not change the outcome - both Bulgaria and Northern Ireland are eliminated in their quest for next year's tournament. At full-time, it finishes Bulgaria 2-1 Northern Ireland.

- 90'+3'Bulgaria eat up the clock with another change, with Kiril Despodov replaced by Vasil Bozhikov.
- 90'+2'Northern Ireland attempted only two shots during their defeat against Switzerland last time out, their fewest since a European Championship qualifier against Netherlands in October 2019. They've managed more today but it looks like it will not help them in the end.
- 90'There will be four added minutes in this match.
- 88'Malinov is also shown a yellow card for his part in the skirmish.
- 88'Dallas is booked for his part in that small fracas between both sides.
- 87'It's all going off now! Dallas gets a bit angry with Turitsov after the latter rebuffs a helping hand following a tackle in the Bulgaria box, and then players are coming in from all sides. There will need to be some stern words here.
