SportsTranscript
00:00Heartbreak is complete for Larne.
00:03They did so much, so well for the vast majority of this game.
00:08Boyle Sports, principal partner of the Northern Ireland Football League.
00:13Yeah, gone are the days of Irish League teams heading out into Europe and just having a go.
00:17You know, you go out with a real game plan now.
00:19Larne have shown that for as much as domestically they're used to controlling the tempo, being on the front foot.
00:24They can also sit in whenever they need to.
00:26What do you think Gary Haven's going to do tonight?
00:28Do you sit in and protect that league? Do you go for it?
00:30No, I think if you're Gary Haven with the calibre of players he has and knowing how he sets his
00:35teams up,
00:35I think they'll want to go for it.
00:37I think the first 10-15 minutes will be really, really interesting in terms of how Larne go.
00:41Will they go at them? I think they will.
00:43I don't think they'll go gong-ho and sell a ranch, but they'll certainly have a go.
00:46Here is that line-up tonight.
00:48Roan Ferguson starts a goal alongside Matt Ridley, Arndon Lane, Cricky Gallagher.
00:51Paul O'Neill in the starting line-up.
00:53He's alongside Ronan Doherty, captain Thomas Cosgrove, Dylan Sloan, Dan Bent, Matthew Lusty and James Simpson
00:58is in for the suspended Sean Graham.
01:05As you can see, another great crowd at Ember Park this evening.
01:09Teal end of the summer here in Northern Ireland, but it's been a beautiful day for football today.
01:13Lovely day in County Antrim.
01:15And one more bumper crowd to hopefully witness history once again.
01:19There's been plenty of that for this club over the past couple of years.
01:23There are the visitors in Golden Auzet Santana.
01:27Christian Rubiens, Bernardo Lopez, Mandy, Kike Gomez, Alex Mula, Ali Kulaboli.
01:32Number 29, Nano, 22, Graham Turia, 44, Manu Toledano and 66, Yuliani, Ersteeling.
01:39We will pick our way through both sides' benches once we get underway here.
01:43Final preparations now at Ember Park.
01:46There's been an awful lot of chat in the media and throughout the town,
01:50throughout the league rather, over the last week.
01:52But it is do-or-die time now for Gary Haverin and his side.
01:5790 minutes, stand between Lorne and a return to league for his action in the Conference League.
02:05Sloan does really well to dance his way through traffic,
02:08works his way onto the left-hand side in a little bit more space.
02:10Aren't Donnelly arrives in support.
02:13Donnelly's ball flicked in towards the back post.
02:17Oh, that's a great chance.
02:20Man, he lost eight.
02:22Does everything right, digs off the shoulder.
02:24Great ball from Donzo.
02:26Just maybe takes his eye off at the last minute and scoffs the finish.
02:30Encouraging signs, though, for Gary Haverin.
02:33That's three big opportunities for Lorne.
02:36Should they bury one here in this first half,
02:39things start to look a whole lot more encouraging.
02:42Ember Park.
02:43James Simpson now every bit,
02:45an NFL Premiership player, every bit a European player.
02:50The ball whipped in low.
02:52Big shout for a penalty.
02:53Referee says no.
02:55Lincoln looked to break.
02:59Ersteeling had the Jets turned on there.
03:01Lorne do well to halt it at the halfway line.
03:04Forward from Cosgrove.
03:05Great idea.
03:08It's Rutgers again.
03:11I'm sure there'll be a few conversations at halftime about that,
03:14but no penalty, says the referee.
03:16No fair.
03:17I don't think so.
03:20I don't see any big boxes.
03:22There should be there.
03:23There is VAR the game tonight,
03:25but no signal.
03:30Take two then for the Red M's,
03:32just shy of the half-hour mark at Ember Park.
03:35It's another shallow ball whipped in towards the near post
03:37and sent away again.
03:40Lusty does well.
03:40Does he have the room?
03:41Marty Lusty.
03:42He's off to the races.
03:44He's closed down.
03:45Lusty fights to keep possession.
03:46And he's held over.
03:47Ooh.
03:55Some high.
03:56No whistle.
03:59I'd like to see that again.
04:01I thought this 21 got in and just got a toe clean.
04:04Ooh.
04:09Certainly not ingratiated himself to the crescent.
04:12That's a big contact from behind.
04:13He just comes across and nearly body checks him.
04:16Oh, I don't know.
04:17Does he get a touch?
04:18It's so quick.
04:19It's hard to tell.
04:23Cosmo finds Gallagher.
04:27Send the ball right up the gut to Lusty.
04:30Simpson from range.
04:33Goodness me.
04:36I think James has scooped to do that more.
04:38He's picked up that wee pocket just five, ten yards,
04:41as I did, in your box,
04:42and a world of space in front of him.
04:43And he's a wand of a left peg,
04:45so I'd be pulling the trigger every chance I got.
04:50There's the whistle for Cosgrove's delivery.
04:53That's a good one from Tomás Cosgrove.
05:05Ball held up and out of play on the far side.
05:16Space in front of goal.
05:19Cosgrove just nods it over.
05:22Just wouldn't come down quick enough for him.
05:25Here's the corner.
05:26Delivered into the middle.
05:27What a save, Santana.
05:31That's an incredible stop from the Red Ems keeper
05:34to keep his side alive with half an hour to go.
05:42Goodness me.
05:42Nine times out of ten.
05:43That hits the net.
05:47It's a great save.
05:49Cosgrove with the header.
05:51Great ball in again from Rona Doherty.
05:52The set pieces have been superb.
05:57This is where the concentrations...
06:00The most important.
06:02First of the length finds Pinto the substitute.
06:06Here he is again.
06:08Forward to Gomez.
06:11Gomez still in possession.
06:12Curling shot.
06:13And Lincoln get one back.
06:16It's a great strike.
06:18Ten minutes to go at Inver Park.
06:20And the visitors find the first goal of the evening.
06:26It is 2-1 on aggregate.
06:38It's a really well taken shot by Kike Gomez.
06:41Great strike.
06:42I'm not sure quite sure how Ridley's got pulled out there, but good strike.
06:46The guy cuts back in.
06:47That's fit number nine and bends over into the top corner.
06:50It's a great strike.
06:51Now it's time for calm heads.
06:53Yeah, the sweat is on for everyone around Inver Park.
06:56These players must now see this side.
07:01Referee.
07:02Referee charges off towards the touchline with his card.
07:06I think it's for someone on the Lincoln staff.
07:26Free kick.
07:27Taking short down the left-hand side.
07:28Ball in deep to the back post.
07:30Loose in the box.
07:31It's with Lincoln.
07:32Edge of the box.
07:33Deflection.
07:38Pressure's cranking up.
07:39I need a light iron.
07:51Red imps half the corner to be taken by Taria.
07:56Delivery into the box.
08:00It's 2-2.
08:02It's all square.
08:08Lauren have done everything right for the vast majority of this game.
08:12And they have been hit with a double by Lincoln.
08:16Up until the last 10 minutes, Lincoln haven't been in Lauren's box or work the keeper at all.
08:22Two bits of quality delivery off the corner.
08:26I don't know who he.
08:30It's like Dan Benzman, maybe.
08:33Dan Benzman flawless.
08:34It's hard to criticize.
08:36It's a good header.
08:39Gets up early in Hines.
08:42Lauren no longer have an aggregate lead to defend.
08:46And as it stands, extra time looms.
08:54We are back underway.
08:58For error because you're playing against top teams who can punish you in a heartbeat.
09:02Yeah, particularly in the first half, Lauren did everything but score.
09:05Yep.
09:05Happy opportunities.
09:09Oh, he's off.
09:12And Montel Gibson is shown a second yellow.
09:15Things go from bad to worse for Lauren.
09:18Right at the death here.
09:20They look really soft on the live play.
09:23I don't know about the replay, but...
09:28Oh, that's not an elbow.
09:32Gibson was booked shortly after coming on.
09:35And a second yellow.
09:37And a second yellow, Regis is Lauren to 10.
09:39Oh, he's played for that.
09:48This is where the fans need to come in, get behind the players, get everybody going.
09:52A lot of football still to be played before we even get the extra time.
09:55Warner capable of scoring goals.
09:58Take this tie.
09:59Back in control.
10:03It was the high arm from Gibson that has sealed his fate here this evening.
10:09He's not going to make the long walk into the tunnel.
10:13I think that's harsh.
10:16For a ref who was not a fan of his whistle and certainly didn't look like happy with his cards
10:25either.
10:26It's been a bit of Jekyll and Hyde from Bratislav.
10:31I think he makes the most of it.
10:39Shellshock around Denver Park then from Gallagher.
10:46One-two.
10:47Attempted one-two between Benji McGee and Kevin O'Hara.
10:51It's turned over.
10:53Donnelly wins it back.
10:55Arn Donnelly to Cosgrove.
11:00Here's O'Hara again.
11:03And a ball in.
11:06There's nobody there for it.
11:08Arn Donnelly does so well to scramble possession back at the top of the box.
11:11And a great ball out wide.
11:12Just nobody's in the box and tiredness at this stage.
11:16This deep in the game playing with 10.
11:18That's a great phase of play from Lourne.
11:20Just didn't have anyone on the end of it.
11:28Three minutes of extra time left plus stoppage.
11:44There's the link.
11:49It's the link.
11:50And Nano on the left-hand side cuts it back in along the deck.
11:56It's a massive, massive decision.
12:00The referee hesitated.
12:02But he whistles and points to the spot.
12:05It's a penalty to Lincoln.
12:13And looked at it in real time.
12:15But.
12:18There's a stunned silence in Ember Park right now.
12:22We're inside the last three of extra time.
12:25If the penalty should out, Lumen.
12:29We'll be.
12:31Told him a headset of EAR review here.
12:39Does he get a foot in first?
12:50Referee makes his way to the touchline.
12:52I think he gets a foot in first.
12:55Oh, referee with a yellow card to someone.
12:58In the Lincoln dugout.
13:00I thought he was off to take another look at it.
13:05I think Cricket gets a touch.
13:18It doesn't look to me like there's going to be any kind of review here.
13:24Referee with the run all the way to the dugout.
13:26Just to produce the yellow card.
13:28And back to the penalty spot.
13:31So.
13:33Forlorn to.
13:35Keep their hopes alive here.
13:37It's going to have to be Manu Toledano.
13:41Versus Rowan Ferguson.
13:47Ferguson has had some big moments in penalties.
13:52In his European career.
13:55None bigger than this.
14:02Josh Ukeg.
14:03Comes on for Connor McHendry.
14:19Two minutes to be added on.
14:25It's Toledano versus Ferguson.
14:29And it's goal Lincoln.
14:32The Red Ems complete the comeback.
14:35In stoppage time of extra time.
14:38It is heartbreak for Larn.
14:43That is an excellent penalty under the circumstances of the pressure.
14:49I mean, Larn will feel hard done by with conceding it.
14:52Yeah, it was a clean clinical strike from Manu Toledano.
14:58Very little Rowan Ferguson could do about that.
15:02Right into the top corner.
15:05It's an excellent penalty in the circumstances.
15:12Lawrence dreams of a return to league phase action in the conference league.
15:17Look, all of it snuffed out here.
15:19It needs a miracle.
15:24I mean, I'd really like to see a closer replay of that penalty.
15:28I mean, it's academic now.
15:29The refs made it.
15:30But I felt they got a foot in first.
15:33I feel it's harsh.
15:36Maybe not.
15:37I feel it's harsh.
15:40I feel it's harsh.
15:42Arrow.
15:43Rowan Ferguson with the ball at his feet.
15:45He's in deep.
15:45Larn have the kitchen sink forward.
15:47Jordan McAniff plays a ball forward.
15:48Benji McGee's there.
15:51McAniff into the corner.
15:54Larn actually, or Lincoln rather, didn't make the second substitution.
15:58I think they're temporarily down to 10.
16:00Rowan Ferguson with nothing to lose is now deep.
16:05It's 10v10.
16:06Lincoln's second sub did not get on there as a ball is chipped in towards the back post.
16:10It's Liss in front of goal, and it's turned away.
16:15Ferguson will recover back towards his area.
16:19It's excellent work from Kevin Mohara.
16:23And the heartbreak is complete for Larn.
16:27They did so much, so well for the vast majority of this game.
16:35Heartbreak in quick succession with two goals from Lincoln.
16:39Turn to despair as Montel Gibson was shown a red card.
16:45Larn endured the majority of extra time.
16:47A man down.
16:49And we're undone by a penalty on the verge of stoppage time with a shootout loom in.
16:57Football can be cruel, Helen, but I'm not sure I've ever seen something like that unfold.
17:02And you can see it from those Larn players.
17:04Total dejection.
17:06I mean, Joel, you and I were here a number of years ago when we were on the other side
17:10of this coin.
17:12And football can be so, so, so harsh.
17:15But it is a sport of fine margins, especially the higher up the level as you go.
17:18The margins are even finer.
17:20And Larn had chances.
17:23They had chances to put this tie to bed in the first half.
17:25And that's no criticism of any individual player.
17:29But if you want to make the progression into those elite levels of football,
17:33you have to take those chances.
17:35I mean, Lincoln had two good chances in the second half and took them both.
17:38It feels like ages and ages ago now.
17:41But we talked about the chances you create.
17:44And it's all well and good to be doing all the right stuff.
17:46But if you're not clinical and if you don't complete your chances,
17:48you could live to regret them.
17:49And it looks like that's what's happened to Larn here.
17:51Yeah, I mean, we talked about it earlier in the commentary.
17:54Would they come back to bite Larn?
17:56And unfortunately, they have.
