Matty Lusty scored the only goal of the game in the 89th minute to earn Larne a huge UEFA Conference League win
A late, late goal from Matty Lusty earned Larne a huge UEFA Conference League win away to FC Ballkani in Kosovo on Thursday night.
The opening exchanges were relatively quiet, with Larne settling on a shape which the home side found hard to break down. Boss Lynch had reverted back to a 3-5-2 formation which has worked so well for them during their back-to-back Premiership titles. The best opportunity arrived 33 minutes into the game when Rohan Ferguson was called into action. After a challenge from Cian Bolger just outside the box the ball broke to Bernard Karrica and his low effort forced a great save from Rohan Ferguson, to turn it wide of the post.
Despite a strong start to the half Ballkani came close with two quickfire efforts on 55 minutes, with Arber Potoku forcing a save from Ferguson, before Lindon Emerllahu drove the rebound wide from outside the box. The game then settled into a similar pattern to the first half with the home side seeing the majority of possession without calling Rohan Ferguson into action too often.
