Defeat at Tallaght Stadium means Rovers must win second leg in Iceland
The Icelandic champions, comfortable on the ball, enjoyed good early possession as Rovers struggled initially to get a foothold in the game.
With their aggressive pressing, Breiðablik were soon back to work Pohls as he had to tip over Oliver Sigurjonsson’s free kick for what was their sixth corner of the night. With eight corners to nil in their favour by then, it came as little surprise when Breiðablik took a deserved lead on 39 minutes. All from Rovers’ poor decision making.Further sloppiness ensued. Gunnlaugsson rolled the free kick into the path of Muminovic whose thunderous drive arrowed straight through the defensive wall, which broke far too early, to find the roof of the net for a cracking goal.
