Manager Michael O\u2019Neill hoped his injury-ravaged team would play with pride for their sake but captained by Jonny Evans, the 35-year-old central defender of Manchester United, Northern Ireland could not trouble their opponents enough.<\/p>\n<p>That is despite Kazakhstan sitting 40 places adrift of Northern Ireland in the world rankings. By contrast, they have now won four of their six games in Group H and are in the thick of the qualification fight alongside Finland, Denmark and Slovenia.<\/p>\n<p>The home side\u2019s winner came from Samorodov, the 21-year-old striker for Kazakhstan Premier League side Aktobe. His powerful finish in the 27th minute flew past Bailey Peacock-Farrell and left Northern Ireland\u2019s defenders, including Evans, remonstrating with each other.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/10\/21\/75273061-12502329-image-a-47_1694378603588.jpg\" height=\"422\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Northern Ireland sink to a new low following a 1-0 defeat to Kazakhstan that ended Euros hope<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/10\/21\/75273067-12502329-image-a-48_1694378608932.jpg\" height=\"422\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Maksim Samorodov (10) celebrates with his teammates after netting the winning goala\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/10\/21\/75273175-12502329-image-m-51_1694378880463.jpg\" height=\"367\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>New Man Utd recruit Jonny Evans failed to captain the Northern Ireland side to a win\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Samorodov had been gifted too much space in front of the box and scored with the hosts\u2019 first shot on target.<\/p>\n<p>Kazakhstan continued to threaten to score before the break as Peacock-Farrell was feeling the pressure. Yet it was Northern Ireland who had the clearest chance to score next.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors thought they had equalised when Conor Washington found Matty Kennedy, whose cross-shot bobbled across goal. Conor McMenamin seemed set to finish from a yard out, only for Samorodov to somehow beat him to the ball. That intervention was as good as a goal by the Kazakhstan striker, who helped his side clear the danger.<\/p>\n<p>It was all Northern Ireland for the final 20 minutes but, perhaps predictably for a team who have now failed to score in four of their last five qualifiers, they lacked the finishing touch. The equaliser proved elusive, and their fifth consecutive defeat was confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>The only good news for Northern Ireland is San Marino are next in October \u2014 a game which should guarantee O\u2019Neill and his men a much-needed morale-boosting win.<\/p>\n<h3>MATCH FACTS\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>Kazakstan (5-4-1): <\/span>Shatskiy, Tapalov (Maliy 71), Bystrov, Marochkin, Alip, Vorogovskiy (Dosmagambetov 45), Zaynutdinov (Aymbetov 88), Beisebekov (Darabayev 71), Tagybergen, Orazov, Samorodov (Kuat 56)<\/p>\n<p>Subs not used: Shaizada, Chesnokov, Astanov, Kairov, Skortov, Zarutskiy, Erlanov\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Goal-scorer: Samorodov 27<\/p>\n<p>Booked: Bystrov, Dosmagambetov, Zaynutdinov, Tagybergen, Samorodov, Kuat\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Manager: Magomed Adiyev<\/p>\n<p><span>Northern Ireland (4-1-4-1):<\/span>\u00a0Peacock-Farrell McNair,\u00a0Ballard,Evans Hume, Charles, McMenamin (Smyth 45),\u00a0McCann (Magennis 70), Saville (<span>Thompson 45)\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Kennedy (Jones 63),\u00a0Washington (Charles 81)<\/p>\n<p>Subs not used:\u00a0 Spencer, Toal, Hazard, Price, Lyons, Lane, Southwood\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Booked: McNair, Ballard, Thompson\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Manager: Michael O&#8217;Neill\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12502329\/Kazakstan-1-0-Northern-Ireland-Michael-ONeills-men-slump-new-low-defeat-Kazakstan-ends-hope-qualifying-Euro-2024-condemns-FIFTH-loss-row.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kazakstan 1-0 Northern Ireland: Michael O&#8217;Neill&#8217;s men slump to new low as defeat to Kazakstan ends all hope of qualifying [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290518,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
