UEFA Europa League REVIEW 11 Aug 2026: Sikharulashvili wins it in extra time as Iberia 1999 edge Larne

Nothing in the first leg at Larne, and nothing in the return until the 74th minute, when V. Bedoshvili finally broke the deadlock - and Larne were level on 76 through J. Simpson, which sent a tie that had looked settled by attrition into extra time instead. Nika Sikharulashvili won it on 102. Iberia took the second leg 2-1, after a first leg that finished 0-0.

That first leg had given no hint of it. Larne pressed at home without finding a way past Giorgi Makaridze, who read a counter to collect Sean Graham's effort, and the closest anyone came to a goal was one Larne were glad to see chalked off - Vahid Selimovic headed in for Iberia and was flagged offside. T. Cosgrove on 11, C. Gallagher on 45 and Iberia's J. Jinjolava on 66 were the only bookings, and the 0-0 made Tuesday winner-takes-all. Gary Haveron's side now go out; Iberia go on to face Rangers or Jagiellonia Bialystok, who won the first leg of that tie 2-1 at home.
