- 90'+6'That's all from Windsor Park today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
- 90'+6'Northern Ireland now travel to Cyprus, where they will target an improved performance on Sunday, while Greece meet fellow first-day winners Kosovo in Pristina on the same day.
- 90'+6'Despite a brief resurgence in the second half, Northern Ireland fall to another Nations League defeat in their opening match of the new campaign, and their wait for a first-ever win in the competition goes on. Victory in his first competitive match in charge is merited reward for Greece coach Poyet, whose team were well organised and dominated the ball for long spells, albeit without frequently troubling their hosts' goal. The Greeks appear to be the team to beat at this third-tier level, and they are off to the perfect start ahead of three more fixtures in the coming week.
- 90'+6'FULL-TIME: NORTHERN IRELAND 0-1 GREECE
- 90'+6'McNair is booked for a foul on Tsimikas, just inside his own half.
- 90'+5'Lafferty commits a foul on Mantalos deep inside the Greece half, as perhaps the final hope of a Northern Ireland equaliser fades.
- 90'+3'For time-wasting near the corner flag, Mantalos is shown a yellow card by the referee.
- 90'+2'An impressive appearance comes to an end for right-back Rota, and Baldock makes his international debut in the dying minutes of the game.
- 90'Five minutes of stoppage time have been indicated by the officials, as Greece prepare another substitution.
- 88'After a yellow card is brandished towards Jimmy Nicholl on the bench, for his protestations about stopping the game, the action gets back under way. Can Northern Ireland find an equaliser? They are certainly throwing everything at it now!
