- 90'+5'That's all for today, goodbye!
- 90'+5'That win takes Switzerland six points clear of today's opponents as well as closing the gap to Italy at the top to three points. Next up for them is a trip to Lithuania. Northern Ireland stay in third, but are only above Bulgaria, their next opponents, on goal difference as things stand.
- 90'+5'A late goal in each half helped Switzerland to a 2-0 win over 10-man Northern Ireland. Zakaria had a goal ruled out by VAR for an offside in the build-up just four minutes in before Lewis was sent off for the visitors for his second yellow in the 37th minute. Zuber did break the deadlock in added time in the first half following a counter. Switzerland could've been out of sight in this game but Peacock-Farrell made some great saves before Fassnacht wrapped it up in the 91st minute when he slotted into the bottom corner.
- 90'+5'FULL-TIME: SWITZERLAND 2-0 NORTHERN IRELAND.
- 90'+3'Switzerland are making another double change now and Embolo is going off, with Itten on for him.
- 90'+3'Shaqiri is also being taken off, with Sow on in his place.
- 90'+1'Again, it's Embolo that creates the goal for Switzerland, and he unselfishly lays the ball off to Fassnacht when he could've tried to score himself.
- 90'+1'FASSNACHT SCORES! Northern Ireland are all over the place at the back again, and they're punished for it! Embolo stays onside and squares it to Fassnacht, who is all alone through the middle. He has time to set himself on the edge of the box before coolly slotting his shot into the bottom corner. 2-0 Switzerland!
- 89'Zakaria isn't happy with McNair's challenge, and he's making his feelings known to the referee. He's also booked for dissent and that means he'll miss the next match.
- 89'Magennis picked up the ball off the floor while Zakaria was talking to the referee and threw it against the midfielder's chest, so he's booked for dissent.
- 90'+1'

- 45'+3'Goal14 - Steven ZuberGoal! Switzerland 1, Northern Ireland 0. Steven Zuber (Switzerland) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner. Assisted by Breel Embolo.
- 37'Red card0 - Jamal LewisLEWIS IS OFF! Northern Ireland have had a couple of warnings about time-wasting already and Lewis is taking his time over a throw-in. The referee goes over to him and pulls out a yellow card, which is his second of the game, and he's sent straight down the tunnel. Northern Ireland are down to 10 men!
- 23'Yellow card0 - Jamal LewisLewis has his hands all over Embolo and has a couple of attempts at pulling him back. He's shown the first yellow card of the game, and that means he'll miss the next match.
