Glens knocked out of Uefa Cup
Glentoran have been knocked out of the Uefa Cup following a 2-1 defeat in Sweden on Thursday.
The Belfast side had it all to do going into this second qualifying round second leg tie against IF Elfsborg following their 1-0 first leg defeat at the Oval two weeks ago.
However, striker Michael Halliday gave Roy Coyle's side hope when headed the Glens into a 1-0 lead on 27 minutes to level the tie on aggregate at 1-1.
Unfortunately for the hundreds of away supporters who had travelled over to the game, the home side hit back shortly before half time though Andreas Klarstrom taking the overall tie to 2-1 in favour of the home side.
In the second half the Glens gave as good as they got but following two squandered chances by midfielder Darren Lockhart, Elfsborg settled the tie with a goal by Joakim Alexanderson on 78 minutes.
Last night's defeat mean the Glens most now concentrate on domestic matters with the Daily Mirror Irish League commencing next month.
Elfsborg, meanwhile, face Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb in the Uefa Cup first round proper following Friday's draw of the competition.
