    The answer is no with Santa Clara penalised for a foul in the box.

  4. Postpublished at 21:55 British Summer Time 14 August

    Santa Clara 0-0 Larne (agg: 3-0)

    Ryan Nolan knocks a dangerous cross out for a corner.

    This could be the final chance of the game, can the home side make it count?

  5. Postpublished at 21:51 British Summer Time 14 August

    Santa Clara 0-0 Larne (agg: 3-0)

    There will be four minutes of additional time at the end of the 90.

    Santa Clara 0-0 Larne (agg: 3-0)

    Sean Graham makes way for James Simpson.

  7. Postpublished at 21:50 British Summer Time 14 August

    Santa Clara 0-0 Larne (agg: 3-0)

    Matthew Lusty has a go, but his strike is well off target.

    Certainly not one for the match report.

  8. Postpublished at 21:46 British Summer Time 14 August

    Santa Clara 0-0 Larne (agg: 3-0)

    The away side have limited Santa Clara to very few chances in the last 20 minutes which will please Nathan Rooney.

    We're into the final five minutes now, will this game end 0-0?

  9. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 21:45 British Summer Time 14 August

    Santa Clara 0-0 Larne (agg: 3-0)

    Conor McKendry and Tiarnan O'Connor make way for Josh Kee and Benji Magee.

    O'Connor had Larne's only chance of the game and it really wasn't far away from breaking the deadlock.

  10. Postpublished at 21:41 British Summer Time 14 August

    Santa Clara 0-0 Larne (agg: 3-0)

    Matheus Pereira has been causing Larne issues since his introduction and has just fired a curling effort narrowly off target.

    Just over 10 minutes to go.

  11. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:40 British Summer Time 14 August

    Linfield 2-0 Vikingur (agg: 3-2)

    That's just about the final action as the referee's whistle soon afterwards brings a halt to proceedings.

    That 2-0 win for the home side meaning that we'll have Linfield v Shelbourne 2.0 over the next couple of weeks with a place in the group stages of the Uefa Conference League for the victors.

  12. Postpublished at 21:39 British Summer Time 14 August

    Linfield 2-0 Vikingur (agg: 3-2)

    Arnbjarn Svensson slides in on Matthew Fitzpatrick and is booked by the referee.

    Linfield will very happily take the free kick at this late stage.

    Linfield are managing the game. They are not rushing to do anything. Linfield have not been able to replicate the performance of the first half, but to their credit they have been dogged and stuck in.

  14. CLOSE!published at 21:35 British Summer Time 14 August

    Santa Clara 0-0 Larne (agg: 3-0)

    Rohan Ferguson makes a low save to gather substitute Gabriel Silva's effort from just outside the box.

    Ferguson has had a quieter second half with Santa Clara not having as many chances as they did in the opening 45 minutes.

  15. Postpublished at 21:33 British Summer Time 14 August

    Linfield 2-0 Vikingur (agg: 3-2)

    There will be six minutes of injury time.

    All eyes on the fourth official now...

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:31 British Summer Time 14 August

    Linfield 2-0 Vikingur (agg: 3-2)

    Possibly a last throw of the dice from Vikingur as they take off Ingi Arngrimasson and Arni Noa Atlason, who are replaced by Arnor Brandsson and Rani Hansen.

  18. Postpublished at 21:31 British Summer Time 14 August

    Santa Clara 0-0 Larne (agg: 3-0)

    There is a short water break here and with the temperature still 22 degrees, I am sure the players need it!

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:30 British Summer Time 14 August

    Santa Clara 0-0 Larne (agg: 3-0)

    Nathan Rooney makes his first change of the night with Matthew Lusty replacing Mark Randall.
