Michael O'Neill is still waiting for his first win as manager after Northern Ireland made it four draws in a row in a dissappointing game in Malta.
.
In a warm-up for World Cup qualifiers against Russia and Israel, Northern Ireland rarely looked like winning their first away friendly since 2006.
.
Gareth McAuley did have the ball in the net but his header from a Chris Brunt corner in the first half was cancelled.
.
Alan Mannus made a good save from Michael Mifsud in the second half.
.
St Johnstone keeper Mannus produced a solid performance in his first international game and it was a first clean sheet in 11 matches for Northern Ireland.
The friendly games this mid-week were very interesting ones.
