Heartbreaker for The New Saints, 4 minutes away from knocking out Victoria Plzen, conceded twice then lost their legs in the shootout going down 4-1 after missing their first 2 kicks. The 95th goal they conceded to make it 4-2 last week proved decisive in the end as without it the game doesn’t go to extra time tonight
Bad night all round for the Welsh, Irish and Northern Irish sides really with Bohemians knocked out by PAOK after being ahead on aggregate, Linfield dumped out 4-2 on agg by Fola Esch, Larne are 1-0 up but heading out anyway to Ferreira and Dundalk are 2-0 down to Vitesse. Only Shamrock have survived through after beating Teuta 2-0 on the night, 3-0 on aggregate
If the Dundalk result stays as is, and adding the Hibs and St Johnstone scores, then 7 British and Irish sides will have crashed out of Europe tonight, leaving Celtic, Shamrock, Rangers, Aberdeen and Spurs as the British and Irish reps in the European playoff rounds next Thursday
