'N Ireland can be confident ahead of play-offs'
Corry Evans believes Northern Ireland can approach next year's Euro 2020 qualifying play-offs with confidence after going toe to toe with Holland on Saturday night.
Though Steven Davis missed a penalty in a goalless draw at Windsor Park, Northern Ireland put the Dutch under pressure in the early going and were rarely threatened themselves.
Evans feels there is little to fear after they threatened to shock the Dutch in Rotterdam last month before two stoppage-time goals inflicted a 3-1 defeat in the reverse fixture.
"Overall we can be pleased," the Blackburn midfielder said. "We have shown in the two games against Holland that we are more than a match for them and we have to take confidence from this and carry it forward.
