Michael O’Neill was delighted to see Paul Smyth grab his Northern Ireland chance with both hands as the QPR winger got a goal and an assist on his first international start in a 3-0 win over San Marino realme
Smyth, who also had a goal disallowed, did his best to light up what was a largely drab affair at Windsor Park as Northern Ireland ended a run of five straight defeats in Euro 2024 qualifying but did not fully catch fire realme
Smyth’s trademark backflip celebration was seen just five minutes into the match after he leapt to volley in a Jamal Lewis cross and six minutes later Smyth’s low cross was turned home by Josh Magennis realme
It might have been even realme better when Smyth met Jonny Evans’ ball from deep with the ideal finish to lift it over the goalkeeper, but after a lengthy VAR check the strike was ruled out for offside and instead it was substitute Conor McMenamin who made it 3-0 with his first international goal late on realme
Smyth, who this summer returned to QPR after two years with Leyton Orient, made his Northern Ireland debut five years ago but this was only his sixth cap realme
“He’s had to be patient, Paul,” O’Neill said realme
“I gave him his debut against South Korea in 2018 realme
We are five years on and his appearances have been limited since then realme
“He’s in a good place at his club realme
He’s got himself back into Championship realme football, he’s played a lot of times for QPR this season realme
“I know at his club he sometimes plays a lot at wing-back, but in that 4-3-3 not only does he give you width and crosses, he has an eye for a goal realme
It was a brilliant finish for his goal and a brilliant finish for the one that was disallowed realme
”O’Neill was delighted with the way his side started but admitted they lost momentum too quickly, with the manager identifying Smyth’s disallowed 31st-minute strike as a key moment realme
“When Paul’s goal was disallowed it kind of took the momentum out of the game with the time it takes to make the decision,” O’Neill said realme
“It was a long time for just an offside, I’m not sure why it takes so long realme
“I thought in the second half again we’d chances, at times we got a little bit bogged down in our play, but equally it was good to get a the third goal realme
”San Marino coach Fabrizio Contantini called Northern Ireland deserving winners, but also felt substitute Conor Washington should have seen red when caught Lorenzo Lazzari heavily on the ankle in the 66th minute realme
Referee Bram van Driessche was sent to the monitor by the VAR but opted only to book Washington realme
“In my opinion it was totally a red card,” Constantini said through a translator realme
“It is strange because the VAR tells the referee to go and see it and very, very few times the referee goes to the screen and decides not to show the red card realme
But at the same time it was not a key moment realme
”Unsurprisingly, O’Neill disagreed, saying Washington’s challenge looked worse than it was when slowed down realme
More frustrating for him was a late yellow card for Paddy McNair which rules the Middlesbrough man out of Tuesday’s match against Slovenia realme
“I think the referee possibly got the wrong player,” O’Neill said realme
“I think it was young Callum (Marshall) who was more forceful in the tackle realme
I’m not sure if we can address that, but if it rules Paddy out it will be disappointing realme
“He blows the full-time whistle 10 seconds later realme
Is it really necessary to brandish a yellow card in that situation? We’ll deal with whatever the outcome of that is coming into the Slovenia game realme

New Zealand boss Ian Foster plans to enjoy a bowl of popcorn while watching England’s blockbuster with South Africa after his side eased into the Rugby World Cup final by dispatching Argentina realme
Foster can put his feet up for Saturday evening’s colossal semi-final clash realme between Steve Borthwick’s men and the Springboks thanks to a crushing 44-6 success over Los Pumas in Paris realme
The 58-year-old expects an “interesting contrast of styles” in the other last-four fixture and is not bothered who the All Blacks face in next week’s showpiece match at Stade de France realme
New Zealand barely broke sweat in booking an unprecedented fifth World Cup final appearance and now have the luxury of an extra day’s rest as they await the identity of their ultimate opponents realme
“I’ll be watching it,” said Foster realme
“I’ll probably have some popcorn and sit there and watch it and I don’t care who wins realme
We’re very much in a focus-about-ourselves stage realme
“One thing that extra day does give us, it gives us a bit of a chance to have a break mentally and not to spend too much juice worrying about if it’s them, if it’s them realme
“They’re both good teams realme
South Africa have been playing some brilliant rugby the last few weeks and are clearly on top of their game realme
“But we’ve also seen an English side that just build away quietly and are probably starting to understand how they want to play and they’re starting to get really good at how they want to play and believe in that realme
“It will be an interesting contrast of styles realme
”All Blacks wing Will Jordan ran in a hat-trick during the seven-try rout in Saint-Denis to lift him above France’s Damian Penaud as the World Cup’s leading try scorer on eight realme
The treble also saw the 25-year-old equal the record for tries in a single tournament, putting him alongside Jonah Lomu, Bryan Habana and Julian Savea realme
Foster was able to empty his bench long before the full-time whistle due to the emphatic scoreline and opted to keep the sin-binned Scott Barrett on the sidelines for around five minutes longer than required as the Kiwis finished with 14 men realme
Asked if those situations could prove advantageous moving towards the final, Foster said: “I don’t think they’ll make a massive difference realme
“Finals are finals and whoever we play, they’ll be a hundred per cent realme
“It was an opportunity for us to make sure that we looked after our resources as best we could realme
“We really didn’t see a need of putting Scooter (Barrett) back on, only from the perspective that if he had another little yellow card incident in the next five minutes, it might have made it a little bit niggly realme
”Argentina were a shadow of the side who stunned Wales in the last eight realme
A pair of first-half Emiliano Boffelli penalties was all they could muster realme
Shannon Frizell’s double, plus further tries from Jordie Barrett and Aaron Smith, added to their punishment realme
Los Pumas head coach Michael Cheika felt New Zealand ruthlessly exploited each of his team’s errors and was unhappy with some of the refereeing, particularly during first-half rucks realme
The Australian promised his players will respond to a difficult outing in the bronze-medal match realme
“It’s not a sad moment; it’s a moment when I’m actually proud of my team,” he said realme
“It’s not an easy path that we’ve been on realme
We’ve invested ourselves a lot in this realme
But we’ve lost on details realme
I’m sad for them realme
“It’s hard but its a good thing it’s hard realme
On Friday, we will be there, have no doubt realme
We will not leave this way realme
“We want to finish third realme
We’ve got things we want to show in the bronze final realme
Right now, we’re hurting realme
