    Linfield v Kalju (19:45 BST)

    Blues boss David Healy makes just one change to his starting XI that narrowly lost 1-0 in Estonia last week.

    Dylan Wells comes into the Linfield midfield with Isaac Baird dropping to the bench.

    The visitors hold a slender advantage from the first leg and manager Nikita Andreev has unsurprisingly opted for the exact same team that started the first leg last week in Tallinn.

    Linfield: Johns, Nolan, Shields (c), Hall, Leahy, McGee, Wells, McClean, Frizzell, Millar, Fitzpatrick.

    Subs: Glavin, Baird, Brown, McKay, Offord, Moore, McCullough, Jermakovas, Graham, Chapman.

    Nomme Kalju: Perk (c), Mashchenko, Podholjuzin, Vukusic, Nikolajev, Siht, Musolitin, Tambedou, Vastsuk, Baptista, Lotar Eyang.

    Subs: Kindel, Borolinstsikov, Godwin, Idalecio, Ivanov, Jabir, Korre, Orlov, Sotsugov, Tarassenkov.

    RFS 2-0 Glentoran (agg.4-1)

    It's all over in Riga and to be honest Glentoran rarely threatened a comeback win this evening.

    The visitors gave it everything, but they lacked the ball-holding skills and match sharpness that their opponents illustrated.

    They are the first Irish League side to go out in Europe and Declan Devine will now turn his attention towards the league in August.

    Two minutes of normal time remain of this game and likely Glentoran's European endeavours.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 19:16 BST 16 July

    Derry City 0-0 CSKA Sofia

    It's goalless at the break but it has been an entertaining first 45 minutes.

    CSKA Sofia have had more of the ball but Derry City have had the two best chances at either end of the half.

    It's all to play for still at the Brandywell.

  9. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 19:15 BST 16 July

    Derry City 0-0 CSKA Sofia

    What a chance for Derry City as Michael Duffy lashes a shot off the post after more great work by Kevin dos Santos down the left.

    That certainly had the home crowd off their feet!

    RFS 2-0 Glentoran

    Great chance for Modou Saidy to really finish it for RFS, but the midfielder shoots just wide of the left-hand upright from 10 yards.

    At the other end free-kick for Glentoran on the edge of the RFS area, but it comes back off the wall and cleared.

  11. Postpublished at 19:12 BST 16 July

    Derry City 0-0 CSKA Sofia

    Another let off for Derry City as CSKA Sofia ramp up the pressure before the break.

    It's that man Leandro Godoy who finds space in the box again, but he fluffs his lines from eight yards out as he fails to make contact with the corner.

    RFS 2-0 Glentoran

    Into the last 10 minutes now of this tie, Glentoran looking tired against a side that is 22 games into their domestic season.

    No doubt the question of summer football will raise its head once more unless the Glens can score three times.

  13. Linfield 'conceded a poor goal' against Kalju - Healypublished at 19:10 BST 16 July

    Linfield v Nomme Kalju (19:45 BST)

    Linfield manager David Healy said "there is a little bit of frustration" after his side suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat by Nomme Kalju in the Uefa Conference League first qualifying round first leg.

    Roko Vukusic took advantage of some poor defending after the restart and netted the only goal of the game in Estonia.

    Despite dominating large spells of the game, Linfield failed to find a goal ahead of the second leg at Windsor Park on 16 July.

    "I thought we were well in the game, so there's a little bit of frustration and the players are disappointed, but I can take huge positives from the performance," Healy told Linfield media after the match.

    "It was the first game in Europe, a difficult team to play against who want to play the game a bit longer, but we were aware of that coming in.

    "The boys were prepared and the disappointing thing is we conceded a poor goal from a set-play. We weren't carved open and one or two chances got away from us."

    RFS 2-0 Glentoran

    Rare corner for Glentoran here, can they make it count?

    The answer is no as it is cleared away.

    Gauthier Mankenda strides away into the Glens half, before being pulled down by substitute Josh Kelly who picks up a yellow.

    Linfield v Nomme Kalju (19:45 BST)

    Roko Vukusic scored the only goal of the game to give the home side the lead in the tie on 47 minutes.

    David Healy's outfit displayed plenty of positive signs but failed to take advantage of their dominance and chances.

    The Blues welcome Kalju to Windsor Park on 16 July for the second leg as they aim to progress to face Shelbourne in the second qualifying round.

    You can feel the tension in the Brandywell as we move past the half hour mark with CSKA Sofia's one-goal aggregate lead still intact.

    Derry City have been probing but haven't managed to find a breakthrough just yet.

    RFS 2-0 Glentoran

    Great ball across the face of goal by Janis Ikaunieks from the left, but unfortunately for him, no RFS player is there to finish it.

    Twenty minutes to go.

    Glentoran think they have a goal back.
