The Northern Ireland women's football team have finished their World Cup qualifiers with a defeat.
Alfie Wylie's girls lost 1-0 against Slovakia at Shamrock Park and finish bottom of the group on goal difference.
However, it was a night to remember for defender Julie Nelson who became the first Northern Ireland woman to win 100 international caps.
And she was a whisker away from celebrating with what would have been a dream free-kick goal to level the match...
