Northern Ireland boss Tanya Oxtoby says her side are ready to "embrace" the challenge posed by Norway in the second leg of their Euro 2025 play-off in Oslo.
But the Australian is hoping her side rise to the occasion in the second leg and show signs they have learned from mistakes made at Inver Park. "The players are positive about challenging themselves again - it is another tough test, but they are up for it."Oxtoby wants Northern Ireland to adopt a more valiant approach to the second leg given they have nothing to lose.
"We have asked the girls to be brave and take themselves out of their comfort zones, so we will see if they can do that for 90 minutes and that will be the test to see if we have success or not."
