Northern Ireland's young squad secured a significant 1-0 away victory over Georgia in Tbilisi on Friday, marking their first win in the second-tier of the Nations League. This result also represents the team's first away win in the competition at any level and their first away clean sheet in nearly two years.
Manager Michael O'Neill described the win as a "big step" for his team, which started with an average age of just 23. Defender Trai Hume, who captained the side, highlighted the importance of proving they can win away games, an area the team has aimed to improve.
The victory puts Northern Ireland in a strong position as their Nations League campaign continues against Hungary in Belfast on Monday. O'Neill expressed his desire for the team to build on this momentum back at home.
