FT: Larne 0-3 Santa Clara
That is all from us after a disappointing night for Linfield and Larne, who both suffered first leg defeats in their Uefa Conference League third qualiifying round ties.
They still have their respective second legs to turn it around next week, and whilst the Blues will fancy their chances at home, it looks a tough ask for Larne in Portugal.
You can read the reports from both games on the BBC Sport website.
We will be back on Saturday for the start of the Irish Premiership season.

Larne 0-3 Santa Clara
Larne hold firm in the second half on Warden Street and keep the deficit at three. However, the damage was done in the first half and it will still be a steep uphill battle at the Estadio de Sao Miguel next week.

Larne 0-3 Santa Clara
Some lovely interchange between Dylan Sloan and Tomas Cosgrove but the final pass from the former of the two is too long and Gabriel Batista pounces on it.
Larne have been better since the restart with 67 gone now.

Larne 0-3 Santa Clara
Santa Clara have brought on Matheus Nunes (not he from Manchester City) and Paulo Victor who have both just got their initials on the back of their shirts.
I have seen a lot of things in football but that's a first for me I must say.

Larne 0-3 Santa Clara
Larne win a free-kick on the edge of the box, but Mark Randall's effort is straight at the wall. Some half-hearted appeals for handball are waved away even with VAR in use.

Vikingur 2-1 Linfield
The final whistle goes in Torshavn and Linfield will have some work to do to turn around a one-goal deficit in next week's second leg at Windsor Park.
David Healy will be disappointed with tonight's scoreline but he will probably feel that the Blues have the capability of overturning that deficit in seven days' time.

Larne 0-3 Santa Clara
A three-goal first half blitz from the Portuguese outfit has Larne firmly staring down the barrel of a heavy defeat here. They have showed their quality and deserve their lead
Santa Clara struck three times in the first half to take control of the tie

Larne have a mountain to climb in the second leg of their Uefa Conference League third round qualifying tie after a 3-0 defeat by Santa Clara in the first leg at the Ballymena Showgrounds.
The Portuguese side blew Larne away with three goals in a ruthless first-half display courtesy of Wendel Silva and two from Gabriel Silva.
Nathan Rooney's side improved in the second half, but the damage was done in the first half, and they were indebted to goalkeeper Rohan Ferguson for keeping the score down.
The Invermen, who reached the league phase of this competition last year, will need to produce an unlikely comeback in Portugal next week to have any chance of progressing to the play-off round.
Ruthless Santa Clara take control of tie
Larne started the game positively, but it was Wendel Silva who opened the scoring at the other end just after the quarter hour mark.
He finished neatly first time from Gabriel Silva's delivery before provider turned goal scorer on 33 minutes.
The Brazilian winger played a one-two with Federico Venancio and finished into the empty net.
He netted again three minutes later as the Larne defence was pierced by Adriano's pass and Gabriel tucked home via the inside of the post.
Larne did stem the flow but struggled to test Gabriel Batista in the Santa Clara goal.
Ferguson made a good save to deny Vinicius Lopes from extending the visitors' advantage just after the restart.
Larne dug in and made things difficult in the second half, but it took a diving block from substitute James Simpson and a few more superb Ferguson saves to deny Serginho and Lopes respectively.
