  "account": "Michael O'Neill expressed confusion over the refereeing decisions in Northern Ireland's 1-0 win over Georgia in the Nations League on Friday. Shea Charles scored a dramatic 99th-minute winner, while Pierce Charles saved a controversial penalty earlier in the match. O'Neill was particularly upset by a missed free-kick after Ceadach O'Neill was fouled late in the game, which led to Daniel Ballard's injury. The Northern Ireland manager stated that his team had to display great resilience, both against the improved Georgia side and some unfavorable referee decisions.",
