Kenny Shiels: Northern Ireland will not be defensive in play-off
Northern Ireland Women are expecting a Ukraine Women onslaught when the teams meet tonight in the second leg of their UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 Play-Off.
Kenny Shiels’ side turned the apple cart upside down when they defeated the Ukrainians 2-1 in their own backyard on Friday.

“Ukraine were unbeaten in six matches going in to Friday’s match, and they will be annoyed at that run coming to an end. We must be ready to repel any backlash,” said Shiels in his matchday programme notes for the encounter.
