Manager Tanya Oxtoby says her Northern Ireland side know the "job's certainly not done" in the Nations League.Northern Ireland travel to Bosnia-Herzegovina knowing a win or draw would secure a promotion play-off with a League A side.However, a defeat would open up a number of permutations with the Bosnians just three points behind Oxtoby's side in Group B1.NI have won all three meetings with Bosnia-Herzegovina in the past year, including a dramatic 3-2 win in the reverse Nations League fixture in February."We by no means expect to just turn up here and the result be ours," said Oxtoby."We need to make sure that we are fully focused and that we go 100mph after it." Oxtoby admitted it had been a "tough campaign" and a promotion play-off against a League A side would be a good reward for the work they have put in."From a playing group point of view and a staff point of view, I'd just be so happy for them because it's been a really, really tough window this window,."It's also been a tough campaign, and that reward for all the effort that everyone's put in for me be the most pleasing thing."After the defeat on Friday, when Poland punished the hosts in a ruthless first half, Oxtoby says her youthful squad will be "right up for it" in Zenica."We know what Bosnia possess in terms of threats and we know what we're looking to do too."We can only concentrate on on ourselves, try to execute what we're going after and focus on the performance to give ourselves every opportunity to get the result."The ball is in our court, we know that we're in a really good position where we can affect our own destiny. "That's what we wanted going into this game."

From pitch invader scuffle to matchwinner – Cristiano Ronaldo stars for Portugal
The 40-year-old was confronted by a pitch invader who wanted a selfie ahead of kick-off before scoring the winning goal in a 2-1 semi-final victory over Germany in Munich. The hosts had gone in front early in the second half when Liverpool transfer target Florian Wirtz headed home but Roberto Martinez's men hit back with two goals in five minutes. A brilliant strike from Francisco Conceicao, whose father Sergio scored the last time Portugal beat Germany in Euro 2000, brought them level before Ronaldo bagged his 137th international goal with an easy tap-in to win the match. It sent Portugal through to the final where they will meet either Spain or France on Sunday. There was plenty of drama in the warm-up as midway through an electrical storm, Ronaldo had his confrontation, with the young fan dragged away by stewards. The storm caused a 10-minute delay to kick-off, but once the action got under way it was almost an electric start for the hosts as they started on the front foot with Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa making two great saves. First he produced a fine stop to deny debutant Nick Woltemade's fizzed effort before getting down quickly to turn Leon Goretzka's stroked effort around the post. Florian Wirtz. Certified baller. 💯#DFB #GermanFootball #GermanMNT #GERPOR 📸 DFB/ Philipp Reinhard — German Football (@DFB_Team_EN) June 4, 2025 Portugal were inches away from taking the lead early in the second half as Ronaldo was just unable to connect with Nuno Mendes' incisive cross, which agonisingly grazed the striker's studs. And soon after the ball went in at the other end as Germany took the lead in the 48th minute. Joshua Kimmich, winning his 100th cap, made it, clipping a delightful ball over the defence for Wirtz to run on to and find the bottom corner. Portugal's response was good and Bruno Fernandes, fresh from a post-season tour to Asia with Manchester United, whipped an effort just wide. But it was substitute Conceicao who made the difference five minutes after coming off the bench. 40-years-old.#NationsLeague — UEFA EURO (@UEFAEURO) June 4, 2025 It was a brilliant individual goal, cutting in from the right, driving towards goal before finding the bottom corner with a 25-yard curling effort. The turnaround was complete five minutes later after another fine goal. Mendes played a one-two with Fernandes and then laid it on a plate for Ronaldo to tap into an empty net after just staying onside. Conceicao could have killed the match but whistled an effort just wide and Germany almost equalised moments later as Karim Adeyemi advanced into the box but his shot hit the outside of the post. Marc-Andre ter Stegen made a miraculous double save to deny Diogo Jota and Conceicao at the death, but Portugal's work was done.

Ronaldo ends Germany duck - where next in his 1,000 goals pursuit?
There aren't many things Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't done but beating Germany was one of them - until Ronaldo popped up with the winner in the Nations League semi-final in Munich, it extended his record goalscoring total - and ended a long was the 40-year-old's 137th international goal in 220 caps, and his 937th strike in all three of those totals are men's until now Ronaldo had never experienced a worse record at international level against any other played Germany five times, losing all five - with Portugal last beating them at Euro 2000. But that is now five from means England take the record of the country Ronaldo has played the most times without beating - three (all draws). Although the biggest caveat in the world is needed here. Portugal won two of the three 'draws' on penalties - the Euro 2004 and 2006 World Cup quarter-finals. After Germany, the nation Ronaldo has suffered defeat against most is France - with four his Portugal side most famously beat France in the Euro 2016 final, and there have been three draws (although that includes a penalty shootout defeat).Ronaldo's goalscoring record against Germany was also poor with just one goal in those five meetings, a total of 450 minutes. That is now two in 540 minutes (so one every 270 minutes).Funnily enough it was against German clubs where he excelled the most in the Champions League, with 28 goals in 26 games. Where next for Ronaldo? After Sunday's Nations League final against either France or Spain - who meet on Thursday in Stuttgart (20:00 BST) it is not entirely clear where Ronaldo's club future has been playing for Saudi club Al-Nassr for the past two and a half years but his contract expires this their final game of the season, he wrote on social media: "This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all."That led many to presume Ronaldo was leaving president Gianni Infantino had said "there are discussions" over Ronaldo playing at the Club World Cup this had failed to qualify - but he would be able to join another team in it, even if just on a short-term side Botafogo were the most strongly now multiple media outlets report that Ronaldo is likely to sign a new contract with Al-Nassr, tying him to the club until he is 42. Can Ronaldo reach 1,000 goals? Ronaldo needs 63 more goals to become the first player to reach 1,000 legends Pele and Romario both claimed to have scored more than 1,000 goals but they included many unofficial matches, including friendlies - so neither are recognised scored 35 goals for Al-Nassr last season - so would reach the landmark in less than two years if he keeps up that goalscoring rate.
