Basel v Brondby going to penalties; winners to play Pat's or CSKA. Linfield dumped into the Conference League after losing 3-0 to Zurich (5-0 on aggregate); they'll play RFS of Latvia for a place in the groups.

1-0 in Sligo is a result; good win, although RTÉ suggesting that Viking weren't going full pelt given the 5-1 first leg result.

Think Macedonia had a team in the EL within the last 5 years. Some very late goals sending games to ET. Hamrun of Malta winning 2-1 away to Levski and gone to ET. Proves their sides are no great shakes. Hope Pat’s can get a goal and see out the game.

Basel just beat Brondby on penalties

They should have won it long before then by the looks of it.

I was thinking the might have, and you're right - Vardar in 2017.

They got thumped in general and are now in the second division, so the money's gone

Have we ever had a co-efficient greater than 10 before, and if so when ?

High 9s but don’t think 10.

Nope - again the second and third bites of the cherry, plus easier draws in the Conference League, help significantly.

This Pat's game is surprisingly poor. Tense, but poor. Possession being lost far too easily by both sides

No wonder I could not remember who it was.

Real chance for Breslin there…

Pat's will be kicking themselves if they don't win this.
They've played well, but not nearly clinical enough at times when it's come to finishing or often the final ball.

Pat’s getting on top now. What a chance for Breslin. Need to be taking those.

Jaysus - two more dreadful efforts from Pat's there.

Do they want another backpass left 15 yards short again?

They have to take one of these chances.

Throwing it away now

When you think of the ones they missed in the first leg too, they should have had this out of sight. They'll be disappointed

Very unfortunate handball really. Pats were starting to put the pressure on before it too. Frustrating.

Classic LOI performance after winning the 1st leg away.

Ref has lost the plot completely

The free kick that was given on the halfway, a flick from Atakayi, was a very strange decision. That was just before the penalty too so that decision led to the concession of the penalty.

Hasn't he?

There's still time here for a harsh red.

How many bookings is it now?

Edit - 11 bookings including the coaches. Or did he just book a sub as well? So 12 now?
