Northern Ireland remained atop Group B2 in the Nations League after a goalless draw with Georgia, despite missing a late penalty. The match ended in a stalemate at Windsor Park, with Isaac Price failing to convert a spot-kick in the 84th minute. The missed opportunity came after a goalmouth scramble involving Nodar Lominadze and Saba Sazonov, who fouled Ruairi McConville. Price's attempt was saved by Georgia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who correctly guessed its direction. Earlier in the game, Jamie Donley and Josh Magennis had also forced saves from Mamardashvili. Northern Ireland kept a clean sheet for the fourth consecutive match, with goalkeeper Pierce Charles making crucial stops against Zuriko Davitashvili and Giorgi Tsitaishvili. This marked the first time since 2017 that the team has achieved such a streak. Despite the draw, Northern Ireland retained the top spot in Group B2, one point ahead of Hungary. In the same group, Hungary defeated Ukraine 2-1, with goals from Milán Tóth and Márk Csinger. Elsewhere in the Nations League, France secured a 4-1 victory over Belgium at the Stade de France, with Zinedine Zidane earning his first home win in charge. Italy also claimed a 3-1 win over Turkey in Bologna. In Group B4, Bosnia and Herzegovina edged Poland 1-0 thanks to a late penalty by Ivan Basic, while Sweden defeated Romania 1-0 through Viktor Gyokeres. In League C, Cyprus beat Latvia 2-1, and Montenegro drew 0-0 with Armenia.
