Terry Devlin secured his third Northern Ireland cap during Tuesday’s 1-0 friendly win against Iceland at Windsor Park, whilst Nicolas Schmid received his first Austria call-up but remains uncapped after recent World Cup qualifiers.
Northern Ireland’s Victory
Manager Michael O’Neill introduced the 21-year-old versatile player during the final moments of the match at Windsor Park. Isaac Price scored the decisive goal for Northern Ireland, who completed the victory despite playing over thirty minutes with ten players after Brodie Spencer received a red card.
Devlin had remained on the substitutes’ bench without featuring when Northern Ireland suffered a 2-1 defeat to Denmark several days prior to the Iceland encounter.
Austria Call-Up News
Goalkeeper Nicolas Schmid earned his first selection for the Austria national team ahead of two World Cup qualifying fixtures. However, the shot-stopper has yet to make his international debut following Austria’s Group H encounters with Romania and San Marino.
Schmid was named amongst the substitutes for the opening match, which Austria won 2-1, but was omitted from manager Ralf Rangnick’s matchday selection for the subsequent fixture against San Marino, where Austria secured a comprehensive 4-0 victory.
