    Linfield 1-0 FK Žalgiris (Agg 1-0)

    The ball is finally hacked clear from the corner, only for it to fall to Bruno Tavares twenty-five yards out.

    The left-back steadies himself and lets fly, but his effort is snatched and sails a good few yards wide. A little too much ambition there.

    Linfield 1-0 FK Žalgiris (Agg 1-0)

    The away side has started to look a bit more dangerous since falling behind and are asking questions of the Linfield defence.

    This time, Mohamed Youla fires a dangerous first-time cross into the box, but Sam Roscoe is perfectly positioned to block it and turn it behind. Another corner to Žalgiris.

    Linfield 1-0 FK Žalgiris (Agg 1-0)

    Another chance goes begging for Žalgiris, and you can practically hear the collective sigh of relief from the Linfield faithful.

    They get an effort on goal from the resulting corner that looked for all the world to be heading in, but Matthew Orr is alert and clears it off the line.

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

    Declan Dunne is forced to make his first save of the night to deny Angelo Campos' left footed effort after he had connected with a clever through ball from Luca Mack.

    That was a good shot and an equally good save.

    Linfield 1-0 FK Žalgiris (Agg 1-0)

    A careless moment in the middle of the park from Josh Archer sees him surrender possession to Joris Moutachy.

    The Žalgiris man drives forward with purpose, letting fly with a left-footed strike that deflects away for a corner.

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

    'Shoottttt' echoes around Solitude after a defensive clearance falls to Gael Bigrimana, who has lots of space.

    The Dungannon captain does have a go from 25-yards, but his effort is well off target.

    Linfield 1-0 FK Žalgiris (Agg 1-0)

    Joris Moutachy, who caught the eye in Vilnius with his forward bursts, is once again the visitors' most dangerous outlet.

    David Healy's side, however, are swarming him the moment he gets on the ball and manage to clear their lines.

    Xhelbrim Taipi's goal from an indirect free kick on ten minutes is the difference at the break.

    Larne have been second best but are still very much in this tie.

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

    James Knowles' corner falls to Cahal McGinty in the box, but the defender fails to control the ball before the away side clear their lines.

    Dungannon were awarded the corner after some skillful play down the wing by Adam Glenny.

    And that is precisely what David Healy would have been hoping for.

    A huge moment for the hosts. Goalkeeper Carlos Oses makes a complete hash of a simple collection, spilling it into a dangerous area.

    Kieran Offord pounces on the loose ball, clipping it back into the six-yard box for Matthew Fitzpatrick to head home from close range. A dream start for the team in Blue!

  11. Postpublished at 19:50 British Summer Time 31 July

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

    Mahamed Youla tries to unlock the Linfield backline with a long, raking ball toward Liviu Antal, but it has a little too much on it and drifts into the safe hands of Chris Johns.

    Down the other end, Matthew Fitzpatrick with a nice turn to get beyond Youla, but his subsequent shot from the edge of the area is well wide of the mark.

    A decent chance, but the finish left a lot to be desired.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 19:49 British Summer Time 31 July

    Prishtina 1-0 Larne (Agg 1-0)

    Ryan Nolan gets the first booking of the evening for a crunching challenge on Ardian Muja on the edge of the box.

    The free kick comes to nothing though as goal scorer Xhelbrim Taipi can't keep his effort down.

    The corner comes to nothing, but FC Vaduz have started the game with intent and are trying to level this tie quickly.

  15. Postpublished at 19:47 British Summer Time 31 July

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

    An early sighter for the visitors as Liviu Antal gets a run on the Linfield defence.

    The frontman tries to guide a header goalward from a looping pass, but the flag is up for offside. A warning shot from the Lithuanian side.

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

    Stephan Seiler's shot is deflected out of play by Danny Wallace to give the away side an early corner.

  17. Postpublished at 19:46 British Summer Time 31 July

    Prishtina 1-0 Larne (Agg 1-0)

    Rohan Ferguson to the rescue! That really should have been two though as Velmir Veliu robs Ryan Nolan and squares to Leutrim Kryeziu.

    However, the Scottish stopper closes the Prishtina captain down and smothers it wide of the post. The corner from Ardian Muja incredibly rebounds directly off the inside of the post and into the grateful gloves of Ferguson.

  18. KICK-OFFpublished at 19:45 British Summer Time 31 July

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

    Sean McAllister gets the ball rolling at Solitude.

    Can Dungannon hold onto their advantage and make history by advancing to the third qualifying round of the Conference League?

  19. KICK-OFFpublished at 19:44 British Summer Time 31 July

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

    The whistle blows and we're underway at Windsor Park.

    Liviu Antal gets the ball rolling for the away side, starting a decisive second leg in south Belfast.

    The prize for the winners? A third qualifying round tie against Víkingur Gøta of the Faroe Islands.

  20. Postpublished at 19:41 British Summer Time 31 July

    Prishtina 1-0 Larne (Agg 1-0)

    Conor McKendry's deep delivery could have found any one of Dan Bent, Ryan Nolan or Tomas Cosgrove. In the end, it is the captain who connects on the byline but is adjudged to have fouled Ardit Nika in the process.

    Goalkeepers really are a protected species! Just over five until the break.
