Big chance now for Shels in the 2nd half to get a 2nd and maybe even a 3rd.

Jesus, Alan Cawley is some dose.

And Rovers equalise just before the break

They really should come out of this with at least a 2 goal lead and have the tie wrapped up.

Yes there is VAR. It’s in place from the Third Qualifying Round and beyond in the Conference League

Odubeko fierce lucky there - but 2-0 is 2-0!

Rovers look like the better team to be honest, but SC are extremely dangerous on the break. Can see how they operate in the league, give away little and catch teams out. They're very athletic and skillful but Rovers are dealing well enough.

If they can keep a clean sheet, that should be the tie, you'd think.

**Acornvilla** · 21/08/2025, 7:54 PM

Fair play to Outspoken, he called it

I bloody knew it as soon as I posted it.

**Acornvilla** · 21/08/2025, 7:59 PM

I really thought that was off tbh!

**pineapple stu** · 21/08/2025, 8:05 PM

And Santa Clara re-take the lead

Some going guys!

Edit - and now a Linfield penalty! This is a mental game

Edit edit - and the Santa Clara goal ruled out. It's all happening in the last few

**pineapple stu** · 21/08/2025, 8:08 PM

And the penalty is saved

Because of course it is

**Nesta99** · 21/08/2025, 8:21 PM

Ah Chris Shields is a master - a player you love when he is yours and hate when he is not!

**pineapple stu** · 21/08/2025, 8:23 PM

Shels and Rovers score pretty much at exactly the same time

Rovers also had a goal ruled out and Shels hit the bar (or rather Linfield hit the bar for them) at about the same time a few minutes ago.

Looking like a decent evening's work!

**Nesta99** · 21/08/2025, 8:31 PM

We can look forward to the collapse next week so!

Agree with you there, no idea how Barrett only got a yellow for that. He’s deliberately handballed it and stopped a goal scoring opportunity (a near certain goal too you’d imagine)
