Northern Ireland boss Lawrie Sanchez hailed the performance of striker David Healy after the Leeds United ace netted the only goal of the game in the 1-0 win over Latvia.
The 28-year-old took his tally for his country to 24 in 54 internationals, with Sanchez paying tribute to his matchwinner.
He said: "David will score goals at every level he plays. You test him at the highest level and he will not be found wanting.
"David told me it was his first real effort in the game and you have to pay credit to him.
"He had a migraine, but he is a lad with no airs and graces. He keeps on breaking records for us and is a good, honest pro."
