Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill said he was "baffled" by some of the refereeing decisions during his side's 1-0 win over Georgia in the Nations League on Friday, according to BBC Sport.
Despite securing the victory, O'Neill's comments point to a frustrating officiating experience during the match, with the manager singling out specific decisions that he felt were questionable.
The win itself extends Northern Ireland's positive results in the competition, though O'Neill's remarks suggest the performance was not without contentious moments that could have affected the outcome had decisions gone differently.
Details on the specific incidents that prompted O'Neill's criticism were not fully outlined in the available reporting, though such comments from managers after close matches are common when officiating calls are seen as pivotal.
Northern Ireland will look to build on the result as they continue their Nations League campaign in the coming fixtures.
