Wales and Northern Ireland stepped up their preparations for UEFA Euro 2016 by playing out a 1-1 draw after a competitive friendly at the Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday night.
A second-half goal from Craig Cathcart put the visitors in front as Wales clearly missed the quality of Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale and Arsenal playmaker Aaron Ramsey in the final third. But a penalty from substitute Simon Church a minute from time spared Welsh blushes.
Wales boss Chris Coleman may have been without his two premier attacking talents, but he still had some competent players to call on.
