We have to be prepared to match their physicality. by Chris Burke in Lyon Ukraine-Northern Ireland | McAuley heads Northern Ireland to victory against Ukraine in EURO 2016 Group C Many wondered how Michael O'Neill's men would perform without the surprisingly dropped Kyle Lafferty, but they were given an early pointer when Stuart Dallas tested Andriy Pyatov with a skidding effort.The midfielder had been brought in along with Jamie Ward to provide energy out wide and harry danger men Andriy Yarmolenko and Yevhen Konoplyanka – and, true enough, Ukraine found it difficult to turn possession into chances.Instead, it was Northern Ireland who looked likelier to score.

A man for the big occasions, all eight of the West Brom defender's international goals have come in competitive fixtures – and at 36 years and 194 days, he became the second oldest scorer at a EURO finals after Ivica Vastić of Austria.The manager's five changes constituted a major throw of the dice – especially the decision to bench Lafferty, the team's seven-goal top scorer in qualifying – but Northern Ireland defended with intelligence, passed the ball neatly and carried a far more convincing attacking threat than their frustrated rivals. Michael O'Neill wants greater competitiveness from Northern Ireland while Ukraine boss Mykhailo Fomenko is hoping for "a steely mentality" as the Group C duo seek a first win.Every team plays how it can, and I think Northern Ireland will play the same way tomorrow. Our players understand this perfectly.The game between Ukraine and Germany was excellent. All rights reserved. We saw the strong points of the Ukraine team. Still deprived of opportunities, Viktor Kovalenko fired their best wide, with substitute Niall McGinn rounding off a memorable victory for Northern Ireland late in added time.It got considerably worse for Mykhailo Fomenko's side, as they were eliminated when Poland and Germany shared a goalless draw in the late kick-off. Northern Ireland coach Michael O'Neill wants his side to be more competitive

by Chris Burke at Stade de Lyon Ukraine 0-2 Northern IrelandGareth McAuley and substitute Niall McGinn struck to get Northern Ireland up and running in Group C, with Ukraine the first side to be eliminated. By which I mean our level of competitiveness, because every game in this tournament has been extremely competitive.They have promised a return to the pressing, harrying, physical style that took them on a 12-match unbeaten run before the tournament, and O'Neill said today he will pick a team to give him more "running power". One thing we didn't do in our game was the ugly side – and that's something we generally do well.

That's the main principle of this game: apply pressure and wait for a reaction.

Both countries needed a win after opening-day reversals, and it was a much-changed Northern Ireland side that made the first incursion. I think they'll apply a lot of pressure.

Craig Cathcart headed over from a corner but the men in green made their set-piece prowess count shortly after the break. So a change in approach and probably personnel seems guaranteed for a match they really need to win. © 1998-2020 UEFA. All rights reserved.
