Northern Ireland crashed to their fifth successive defeat on Sunday in Kazakhstan
Michael O'Neill admitted his side is "in a difficult moment" as Northern Ireland's Euro qualifying slump continued on Sunday.
Maksim Damorodov's first-half goal proved the difference in this latest encounter, the fourth time Northern Ireland have suffered a single goal defeat in Group H.O'Neill said Northern Ireland were let down by poor decision-making in the final third of the pitch. "I thought our play in the final third let us down in the first part of the game, and probably throughout the 90 minutes if I am honest.
"When you're behind in the game as we were, then in the second half and the latter stages you have to start chasing the game a little bit."
