Northern Ireland's soccer team hopes of making the World Cup finals for the first time since 1986 ended as Switzerland won their play‑off 1‑0 on aggregate after today's stalemate in Basel.

The result secures Switzerland a place in Russia ‑ their fourth consecutive World Cup ‑ and means Northern Ireland's hopes of a fourth finals appearance are over.

In other results the Netherlands beat Bulgaria 3‑1, Croatia beat Kosovo 1‑0 while Sweden thrashed Belarus 4‑0.
