Summary

Northern Ireland achieved a decisive 3-0 victory against Ukraine in a Nations League match on October 3, 2026, in Trnava. Ciaron Brown scored two goals, while Isaac Price added another. Arsenal’s 18-year-old forward, Ceadach O’Neill, made his fourth senior cap, coming off the bench late in the match.
