    Linfield 2-0 FK Žalgiris (Agg 2-0)

    From the resulting free-kick, Kirk Millar whips in a dangerous cross.

    Matthew Fitzpatrick rises highest to meet it with a header, but he can't get enough power on the effort to trouble Carlos Oses, who scrambles across to make the save.

  2. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:57 British Summer Time 31 July

    Prishtina 1-1 Larne (Agg 1-1)

    Rohan Ferguson may well have just sent this game to extra time with a stunning save! Sensational footwork in the box from Rin Ahmeti allowed him to get a shot away that was saved from close range by Ferguson before Chris Gallagher got his body between Akileu Ndreca and the goal for a brave block.

  3. Postpublished at 20:56 British Summer Time 31 July

    Dungannon Swifts 0-0 FC Vaduz (Agg 1-0)

    A bit of a nervy moment there as Declan Dunne and Caolan Marron both crash into the advertising boards.

    Thankfully both players are alright and able to continue.

  4. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:56 British Summer Time 31 July

    Linfield 2-0 FK Žalgiris (Agg 2-0)

    Liviu Antal goes into the book for a late challenge on Jamie Mulgrew.

    The referee has no hesitation in showing the yellow card. Antal is furious with the decision and spends a good 10 seconds arguing, but he has no real grounds for complaint.

  5. Postpublished at 20:55 British Summer Time 31 July

    Dungannon Swifts 0-0 FC Vaduz (Agg 1-0)

    Cahal McGinty's header from a Gael Bigirimana free-kick sails onto the top of the net.

    Some Dungannon fans thought that effort was in and it certainly wasn't far away!

  6. Postpublished at 20:54 British Summer Time 31 July

    Linfield 2-0 FK Žalgiris (Agg 2-0)

    A searching ball from Yuri Kendysh looks to find Liviu Antal's run in behind the defence. But Chris Johns is alert to the danger, racing off his line to relieve the pressure with a decisive clearance.

    Experienced goalkeeping.

  7. INJURY TIMEpublished at 20:53 British Summer Time 31 July

    Prishtina 1-1 Larne (Agg 1-1)

    Four more minutes for someone to find a dramatic winner and avoid extra time...

  8. Postpublished at 20:50 British Summer Time 31 July

    Linfield 2-0 FK Žalgiris (Agg 2-0)

    A corner for Žalgiris, and Joris Moutachy looks to work a clever training ground routine with Bruno Tavares.

    The idea is good, but the execution, shall we say, leaves a lot to be desired. Sam Roscoe reads it perfectly and heads it clear with ease.

    That will probably be left off the video reel for Monday morning.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 20:50 British Summer Time 31 July

    Prishtina 1-1 Larne (Agg 1-1)

    Nathan Rooney now springs a double sub on 86 minutes as Tiarnan O'Connor and Benji Magee replace Mark Randall and Conor McKendry. Will the fresh legs be the difference for the Inver Reds?

    Meanwhile, Gentrit Salihu is on for Hamdi Namani for the hosts.

    We're back under way at Solitude!

    The away side make a change at the break with Nicolas Hasler on for Mischa Beeli.

    Right then, the teams are back out and we are underway for the second half.

    A huge forty-five minutes awaits here at Windsor Park, with Linfield holding all the cards. Can they finish the job?

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:46 British Summer Time 31 July

    Prishtina 1-1 Larne (Agg 1-1)

    Akileu Ndreca is on for Velmir Veliu on 83 minutes. Nathan Rooney has not gone to his bench since bringing on Matt Ridley at half time.

  13. Postpublished at 20:45 British Summer Time 31 July

    Prishtina 1-1 Larne (Agg 1-1)

    I have seen some play acting in my time but that from Blend Baftiu may be the best/worst of the lot!

    Marking Dan Bent at a corner, the Gibraltar international lightly treads on Baftiu's toe and he goes down in a heap.

    It gets a wry smile from corner taker Mark Randall who is told to delay his kick. Eventually, the delivery comes to nothing anyway.

  15. Postpublished at 20:40 British Summer Time 31 July

    Prishtina 1-1 Larne (Agg 1-1)

    A rash challenge from substitute Blend Baftiu takes Tomas Cosgrove out by the roots but no card from Kyriakos Athanasiou and the free kick comes to nothing.

    Twelve minutes of normal time remain in Pristina.

  16. Postpublished at 20:39 British Summer Time 31 July

    HT: Dungannon Swifts 0-0 FC Vaduz (Agg 1-0)

    If Dungannon can hang onto their lead and progress, they will face AZ Alkmaar in the next round.

    The side from the Netherlands were behind going into the home leg, but defeated llves 5-0 this evening.

  17. Postpublished at 20:36 British Summer Time 31 July

    Prishtina 1-1 Larne (Agg 1-1)

    Mark Randall shows a lovely touch to get away from the defence on the left but his second lets him down as his delivery is far too heavy for Paul O'Neill.

  18. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:35 British Summer Time 31 July

    The half-time whistle goes, and the crowd lets out a collective roar. It's been a rollercoaster first half in south Belfast, as David Healy's men go in at the break with a commanding 2-0 lead.

    Goals from Matthew Fitzpatrick and Kieran Offord have the home side in control, but a missed penalty from Chris Shields will be playing on a few minds.

    How are we feeling, Blues fans?

  19. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:34 British Summer Time 31 July

    Dungannon Swifts 0-0 FC Vaduz (Agg 1-0)

    Ten-man Dungannon remain in front on aggregate at the break.

    Tensions boil over after the half-time whistle. It had been a feisty game before the red card, but that certainly heightened the tension.

  20. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 20:34 British Summer Time 31 July

    Prishtina 1-1 Larne (Agg 1-1)

    A double change made by Arsim Thaci as Rin Ahmeti and Blend Baftiu replace Ardian Muja and goal scorer Xhelbrim Taipi.

    Twenty to go here at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium. Will we see a winner in normal time or will Larne go to extra time again?
