Northern Ireland striker Simone Magill praised the "character" of her side to battle back and draw 1-1 with Montenegro in their Nations League play-off.

Medina Desic headed Montenegro into the lead at Windsor Park, before Magill equalised from close range to seal a 3-1 aggregate victory for the hosts.

The result preserves Northern Ireland's place in League B.

"The response after the goal is how we want to start games," she said.

"We showed our character in the second half. It could have been easy to sit in and not concede again but we went and got the equaliser, and were on top at the end of the game.

"This is what we have to look to implement going forward."
