Mamardashvili's late penalty save denies Northern Ireland win vs Georgia

Isaac Price missed a late penalty as Northern Ireland were held to a goalless draw by Georgia, which nevertheless keeps them top of their Nations League group. Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili guessed right to keep out Price's 84th-minute spot-kick after a combination of Nodar Lominadze and Saba Sazonov fouled Ruairi Mc Conville as he sent a header against the crossbar during a goalmouth scramble.

Jamie Donley and Josh Magennis also brought saves out of Mamardashvili, and Tom Atcheson felt he should have had a first-half penalty, but Northern Ireland were held to a stalemate for the second time in a week at Windsor Park. Georgia, still yet to score in this season's Nations League, responded to their 1-0 loss to Northern Ireland in Tbilisi 11 days ago by sacking Willy Sagnol, but Ramaz Svanadze is still awaiting his first win in charge despite Khvicha Kvaratskhelia showing flashes of brilliance.

Northern Ireland started the night as the only side yet to concede, and Pierce Charles made big saves from Zuriko Davitashvili and Giorgi Tsitaishvili to make it four competitive clean sheets in a row for the first time since 2017. The 21-year-old goalkeeper's seventh clean sheet in nine competitive appearances ensured Michael O'Neill's side remain top of Group B2 by a single point from Hungary.

Northern Ireland's confidence showed in positive early intent, but Georgia stubbornly defended. After the break, loose passing hampered them, and Ethan Galbraith hobbled off. It ended chaotically with the penalty miss, leaving Northern Ireland still unbeaten.
