PARIS: Northern Ireland will take a long time to forget the own goal that knocked them out of Euro 2016 but they are leaving the tournament with their pride intact after a 1-0 defeat by Wales on Saturday. “It was a very tight game. We were the better team for most of the game,” Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill said. “We deserved at least to go into extra time. But when it ends like it did today, it is very cruel. I don’t think we got what we deserved today.”
