Isaac Price helped Northern Ireland secure a late 1-0 win over Georgia in Tbilisi in their opening UEFA Nations League encounter.
The Baggies man played the entirety of the League B battle, one which was settled with virtually the last kick when Shea Charles fired in from close range to seal all three points.
Northern Ireland had survived an earlier scare at Boris Paichadze National Stadium - PSG star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia missing a penalty in the middle of the second period.
Elsewhere, midfielder Ousmane Diakité was an unused substitute for Mali who beat Cape Verde 3-1 at home in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
Price could be in action once again as early as Monday when his side take on Hungary in their second Nations League match in Belfast, while Diakite will be hoping to feature in Mali's second AFCON qualifier against Liberia in Monrovia on Tuesday.
