Match Video: Notes:
- This was the first time a team actually billed as "Northern Ireland" played an international match. It would be two years before FIFA officially requested that the name of the team be changed from simply Ireland.
- Thadée Cisowski was subbed off on 23 minutes, but returned to the field as a substitute 8 minutes later.
