Northern Ireland's hopes of qualifying for Euro 2024 suffered a severe blow as Kazakhstan snatched a late 1-0 victory at a stunned Windsor Park.

Michael O'Neill's side were in desperate need of a victory to kick-start their campaign after successive defeats but succumbed to substitute Abat Aimbetov's dramatic 88th-minute winner.

It means Northern Ireland have won just two of their last 17 home games, with this latest defeat leaving them second from bottom in Group H with just three points on the board after four games.

Kazakhstan's third-successive victory moves them joint-top of the group alongside Finland, who thrashed San Marino 6-0 earlier on Monday, further fuelling their dream of reaching a major tournament for the first time.
