SENSATIONAL! Northern Ireland have given their chances of reaching the last 16 a huge shot in the arm. This is a famous result in the country's footballing history. What an achievement! O'Neill deserves huge credit for making the calls to pull this off. What a display.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAL! Ukraine 0 Northern Ireland 2 (96 mins - Niall McGinn). Absolutely sensational! Northern Ireland have secured the points. Pyatov makes the save from the initial shot, but McGinn fires home the finish.
Goal
N. McGinn
Northern Ireland are counting down the seconds now. They are just moments away from one of the biggest results in their footballing history. This will be a famous day in Lyon.
Northern Ireland sub: Corry Evans OFF, Paddy McNair ON.
This is constant Ukrainian pressure now, but Northern Ireland still look rather comfortable. McGovern has been excellent at gathering crosses into the penalty area.
I'd imagine a few of those six minutes of stoppage time are down to the botched sub that Northern Ireland made. Although it seemed to be the fault of the officials rather than O'Neill.
Six minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the second half!
Not sure what that was all about, but play continues, Paddy McNair has returned to the bench without Northern Ireland making a change. Ukraine are pressing for an equaliser.
YELLOW CARD: Stuart Dallas (Northern Ireland)
Nobody seems sure as to what is happening. Northern Ireland want to make a change, but for whatever reason they're not being allowed to. Dallas was supposed to come off, but Evans' number was held up.
MCGOVERN MAKES THE SAVE! The cross comes in from the Ukrainian left wing, with Zinchenko rising highest to meet the ball on the leap. But McGovern gathers to deny him.
Northern Ireland sub: Conor Washington OFF, Josh Magennis ON.
Ukraine sub: Viktor Kovalenko OFF, Oleksandr Zinchenko ON.
Evans has been excellent at the heart of the Northern Irish defence. Of course, he is used to the big occasion after all those years at Man Utd and he is showing that this evening.
Looks like O'Neill is preparing to make another change. Josh Magennis is the one off the bench and getting stripped. The Kilmarnock man will come on as a targetman up front.
McGovern is grateful every time they ball ends up in his hands. Ukraine are throwing a lot of crosses into the area, but the Hamilton goalkeeper has been effective in dealing with them.
There is a growing sense in Lyon now that Northern Ireland are starting to hold on to what they have. Of course, what they have is rather a lot. This would be a huge result.
WIDE OF THE TARGET! Kovalenko takes control of the ball 25 yards out and elects to shoot when he has options either side. However, he drags his effort wide of the Northern Irish goal.
