Do or die for O’neill

- BY DARREN FULLERTON

Switzerlan­d v N Ireland 5pm (Swiss lead 1-0 on agg)

NORTHERN IRELAND boss Michael O’neill is ready for the do-or-die dynamic of today’s World Cup play-off shootout in Switzerlan­d.

The Swiss are massive favourites to reach Russia after a controvers­ial 1-0 win in Thursday night’s first leg at Windsor Park.

But O’neill said: “Switzerlan­d are in a very strong position, but a lot of expectatio­n comes with that. If we get an away goal, we will see how they react to that.

“Our focus is on a good performanc­e and I know the players will give everything.”
