Highlights | Northern Ireland 2-0 Ukraine
Northern Ireland made history by beating Ukraine at Seaview to reach the finals of Euro 2022 in England.
Marissa Callaghan and Nadene Caldwell scored to give Kenny Shiels' side a 2-0 win on the night and a 4-1 victory on aggregate in the two-legged play-off.
Captain Callaghan tucked home on 55 minutes and Caldwell netted in injury time to secure the win against Ukraine, who had Natiya Pantsulaya sent off.
The Euro 2022 finals will be Northern Ireland's first major tournament.
It caps a remarkable 17-year journey for Northern Ireland, whose women's national team only reformed in 2004.
After a goalless first-half, Callaghan broke the deadlock 10 minutes into the second-half when she beat Ukraine goalkeeper Kateryna Samson to the ball and slotted into the empty net.
It was a goal which perfectly summed up Northern Ireland's persistence as Callaghan won the initial header from Julie Nelson's free-kick before showing awareness to get to the second ball ahead of the sleeping Ukraine defence to give the home side the cushion they craved.
Caldwell secured the victory after Pantsulaya was sent-off late on. Simone Magill won the ball on the edge of the area and Caldwell, who had just come on the pitch as a substitute, beat the stranded Samson to spark wild celebrations.
Wild celebrations at full-time!!
The celebrations at full-time marked an unbelievable journey for a team who were written off before a ball was kicked in qualifying.
Moments such as Ashley Hutton's last-minute goal against Wales or a superb 1-0 victory away to Belarus with 10 players demonstrate where the unwavering belief stems from.
From arriving in May 2019, Shiels and his coaching team, which includes son Dean, have done a remarkable job changing the mentality and tactics of this side.
For players like Julie Nelson, who has been through thick and thin since making her debut 17 years ago, it has been a life-long dream.
For younger players like McKenna or McCarron, this will a high point in their fledgling careers that they hope will be the first of many.
It's impossible to name every player but it has been a real team effort to get to this point - and every player in a green shirt played their part.
It was an occasion and performance which deserved a packed house at Seaview, but this history-making team can expect the Green and White Army to follow their every move for years to come.
This team dared to dream, and now they will enjoy every moment of the reward they have worked so hard to achieve.
