N Ireland's Josh McGuinness wins this aerial challenge with Emil Grozev

Northern Ireland are though to the Elite Section final at the Milk Cup after a 3-0 win over Bulgaria.

James Lawrie scored the opener at the Coleraine Showgrounds before Billy Kee's double sealed the win and a meeting with Denmark in the decider.

Premier champions Manchester United beat Desportivo Brasil 6-5 on penalties after a scoreless draw at Limavady to make the semi-finals.

Junior holders Everton defeated Swindon 1-0 to book a semi-final spot.

The Toffees will play Club Pachuca, who beat County Down 3-1.

Watford were shock 1-0 winners over Chelsea and they will take on Plymouth Argyle in Thursday night's semis.

Argyle defeated Hull City 7-6 in a penalty shoot-out after a scoreless encounter.

Fenerbache hammered Cherry Orchard 5-0 to set up a last four clash with Manchester United.

FC Porto defeated South Coast Bayern 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw and they will take on Sheffield United, 3-1 winners over County Down.

Denmark drew 1-1 with Israel in Ballymoney and that was enough to make Friday night's Elite final against Northern Ireland.

Germany and the USA played out a 1-1 draw at the Ballymena Showgrounds.

Northern Ireland could be without Wednesday night's two-goal hero Kee in Friday's final against the Danes.

Leicester City forward Kee is currently on loan at Accrington Stanley and the club want him to line out against Blackburn on Saturday.

Northern Ireland manager Steve Beaglehole will have discussions with Accrington officials on Thursday.

Corey Evans is also a doubt for Northern Ireland after an ankle injury restricted him to a substitute's role against Bulgaria.
