Northern Ireland beat Luxembourg 2-0 on Thursday night at Windsor Park
Michael O'Neill revealed his players and staff brushed up on their set-piece routines just hours before beating Luxembourg 2-0 in Thursday night's Nations League opener.
Northern Ireland have now lost just one of their last six outings, a run which includes four wins and a draw. McNair drilled home the opener in the 11th minute, and then Ballard latched onto George Saville's free-kick to slide home the second in what was a training ground move six minutes later.
