Long after the final whistle had sounded at Windsor Park, the jubilant pack of travelling Finland supporters were still singing and dancing in their corner of the south Belfast stadium.This was not in the script.This is not how a hero's homecoming is supposed to end.Before Sunday night's Euro 2024 qualifier, returning manager Michael O'Neill was determined to play down the significance of it being the first home match of his second spell in charge of Northern Ireland - but the roar from the 17,900-strong crowd that greeted him before kick-off must no doubt have tested his desire to remove all emotion from the occasion.
