    All three clubs who were in action - Linfield, Dungannon Swifts and Larne - are well in the running to progress to the third qualifying round of the competition after encouraging results in their first legs tonight.

    There was history for the Swifts as they secured a first-ever away win in Europe, against Vaduz, while Larne drew 0-0 with Prishtina at the Ballymena Showgrounds and Linfield also played out a goalless draw away to Zalgiris of Lithuania.

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    As it did a fortnight ago, the first leg finishes goalless at the Ballymena Showgrounds. The tie will be decided in a winner-takes-all one-off at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium this day next week.

  3. INJURY TIMEpublished at 21:48 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    Into four added minutes as Chris Gallagher becomes the latest man in the book.

  4. Postpublished at 21:46 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    Rohan Ferguson has not looked comfortable with the ball at his feet tonight and a heavy touch invites Valmir Veliu to close him down but the ball rebounds away from goal.

    A Larne sigh of relief.

  5. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:44 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    Tomas Cosgrove is booked as he steams into Dorde Saletic on the right touchline. It was a strong tackle but it looked as though he won the ball.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 21:38 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    A pair of Larne subs sees Matthew Ridley and Benji Magee on for Paul O'Neill and Dylan Sloan.

    A reshuffle will see the Inver Reds play with three at the back and Magee join new man Kobei Moore through the middle.

    Meanwhile, Dan Bent is cautioned for a mistimed slide tackle on Dorde Saletic.

    Eight minutes of normal time remain.

  7. Postpublished at 21:36 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    More uproar on the Prishtina bench as Rohan Ferguson comes to the edge of his box and comes dangerously close to handling outside of it.

    Did he maybe hold the ball too long? Crucially for Larne, Iwan Griffith didn't think so but he has red carded a Prishtna staff member for his protests.

  8. Postpublished at 21:30 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    Dylan Graham is sent to warm up as Rohan Ferguson sits down in his six yard box. Was he hurt or perhaps taking the sting out of the game after a spell of Prishtina pressure?

    Either way the Scottish stopper is OK.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:29 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    It's a Larne debut for Kobei Moore as the former Aston Villa man is on for the last 20 minutes in place of Conor McKendry.

    Can he make an instant impact just two days after signing?

  10. Postpublished at 21:27 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    Another goal line clearance from Ryan Nolan! This time he denies Akileu Ndreca who pounced on a loose pass and, with Rohan Ferguson out of position, tried to lob it home from the edge of the box.

    However, the former Inter Milan defender was in the right place at the right time to nod away.

  11. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:23 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    An incredible double save from Rohan Ferguson denies Leutrim Kryeziu twice with his head and from the rebound.

    It was not to be third time lucky for Prishtina as Ryan Nolan heroically blocks Xhelbrim Taipi's follow-up on the line

    A wake up call for Larne but one that the visitors may come to rue.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:20 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    The visitors make the first change as Akileu Ndreca replaces Blendi Baftiu.

  13. Postpublished at 21:16 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    Larne continue to dominate but clear-cut chances are proving hard to come by. Sean Graham's delivery is headed away to the edge of the box where Mark Randall strides on to it.

    He tries to cushion a side-footed half-volley into the net but it was always rising.

  14. Postpublished at 21:13 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    Conor McKendry's cutback takes a nick off a blue shirt that redirects it to Dylan Sloan but his effort is blocked.

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:08 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    Valmir Veliu is the latest man to fall foul of Iwan Griffith. Prishtina need to be careful their ill-discipline doesn't cost them. Thou doth protest too much...

  16. Postpublished at 21:05 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    Another unconvincing ball by Rohan Ferguson puts the hosts under pressure. The visiting bench has some half-hearted cries for a penalty as captain Leutrim Kryeziu goes down under pressure from Aaron Donnelly.

  17. KICK-OFFpublished at 21:02 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    Back underway here with no changes for either side. Will we see a goal for either side to take back to Kosovo next week?

  18. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:49 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    The half-time whistle blows with more tempers flaring as Ardian Muja takes Dylan Sloan out by the roots just as the whistle blows.

    The Prishtina bench are not impressed but this one is simmering away nicely after a first 45 that Larne have edged without completely dominating.

  19. INJURY TIMEpublished at 20:45 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    Into two added minutes now on Warden Street.

  20. Postpublished at 20:44 British Summer Time 24 July

    Larne 0-0 Prishtina

    Things get a little heated in front of the Prishtina bench after a coming-together between Paul O'Neill and Ardian Muja.

    The referee played on but the visitors thought there was an elbow to the face which is waved away. Ardian Limani is cautioned for his protests as is his manager who has to be dragged away by a member of his staff.
