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. Despite his late introduction, O’Neill posed a threat to the Ukraine defense and nearly scored a fourth goal, though he was denied a penalty after being shoved in the area. The win places Northern Ireland at the top of League B Group 2, three points clear with seven points from their first three matches. They will conclude their international window against Georgia in Belfast on Monday.
