LARNE suffered a 2-1 extra time defeat tonight against Iberia 1999 in their Europa League third qualifying round second leg in Tbilisi. Larne on the other hand drop into the Uefa Conference League play-off round where they will play either Lincoln Red Imps from Gibraltar or Omonia of Cyprus for a place in the league phase. Dan Bent saw his effort on goal blocked but the ball ricochet out to James Simpson who found the net to level things up. With the away goals rule, which would have seen Larne qualify, no longer in play, extra was going to be required to separate the two teams. The defining goal arrived 12 minutes into the addition time, with Nika Sikharulashvili striking home and Larne just couldn’t get an equalising goal to bring the game to penalties.
