Northern Ireland and Georgia
25 September 2026
Northern Ireland claimed their first-ever away victory in the Nations League as Shea Charles scored a 99th-minute winner to beat Georgia 1-0 in Tbilisi. Goalkeeper Pierce Charles had earlier saved a penalty from Georgia captain Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The visitors survived sustained second-half pressure before striking deep into stoppage time. The victory was tempered by Daniel Ballard suffering a hamstring injury, with manager Michael O’Neill confirming the defender will miss the remaining three matches of the international window.
