Lincoln Red Imps 0-2 Larne result, stats and report

Larne ground out a disciplined 2-0 victory over Lincoln Red Imps in the UEFA Europa Conference League, with two late field goals and a superior defensive structure proving decisive in Gibraltar.

Omonia Nicosia edged a scrappy but controlled second leg at home, winning 1-0 thanks to an early strike to progress in the UEFA Europa League qualifiers. Lincoln Red Imps were disciplined but ultimately had too little going forward, finishing the game with four yellow cards and a whole lot of frustration.

FC Iberia 1999 edged past Larne 2-1 after extra time in a bad-tempered Europa League qualifier, with the decisive goal arriving in the 102nd minute to settle a tie that had seven bookings and precious little quality.

Lincoln Red Imps held Omonia Nicosia at bay for the better part of ninety minutes, only to concede a cruel equaliser in stoppage time that transformed what would have been a remarkable European result into a draw with everything still to play for in the second leg.

FC Iberia 1999 dominated the ball with 65% possession and generated fewer shots than a Larne side sitting deep and working hard without the ball, as both teams cancelled each other out in a goalless first leg in Northern Ireland.
