Northern Ireland 0 - 0 Slovenia: Northern Irish held in Belfast
Northern Ireland's Euro 2012 qualifying hopes plummeted for the second time in five days as they mustered only a goalless draw against Slovenia.
After defeat in Serbia on Friday night, the Windsor Park stalemate leaves their prospects in dire straits, despite having lost only one of their five games.
Chris Brunt was almost the hero for his side but he fell agonisingly short of converting Corry Evans' cross in the 80th minute before Josh McQuoid saw a late penalty appeal turned down.
