      U21s draw 1-1 after Casement header cancels out Ukraine penalty

      Chris Casement's late equaliser saw Northern Ireland Under 21s earn a deserved 1-1 draw in Tuesday's friendly with Ukraine in Portadown. The visitors took the lead in the 36th minute after Scott Gibb was penalised for a challenge on Roman Zozulia in the province's penalty area. Levgenenii Konoplianka sent goalkeeper Trevor Carson the wrong way from the resulting spot-kick. But Northern Ireland then put the visitors on the back foot for most of the second half before Casement's equaliser. It came when the on-loan Wycombe defender headed home in the 71st minute after Jonny Taylor flicked on a Martin Donnelly free-kick.
