WILL GRIGG was unable to stop Northern Ireland from slipping to defeat in their inaugural Nations League match to Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The hosts dominated proceedings at Windsor Park but now have just one win in eight after going down 2-1 in Belfast.
Haris Duljevic’s 36th-minute close-range flick from Edin Dzeko’s cross broke the deadlock for the visitors against the run of play.
But it was Bosnia-Herzegovina’s second goal just after the hour mark that proved to be key after an awful defensive mix-up.
It was Elvis Saric who slotted home into an empty net after defender Craig Cathcart and goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell got their wires crossed at the back.
Michael O’Neill introduced hotshot Grigg into the fray from the bench with 20 minutes remaining in a desperate attempt to salvage something from the game.
But he had to wait until injury time for the Wigan Athletic striker to hook home.
However it proved to be nothing more than a consolation.
NEW FORMAT What is the Uefa Nations League, has it replaced Euro 2020 qualifiers?
The setback is a major blow to Northern Ireland’s hopes of success in the new competition, which also includes Austria in the group.
The men in the green are next in action on Tuesday when Israel travel to Belfast for a friendly.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
