Larne Falls to Olimpija in Conference League

Larne suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Olimpija Ljubljana in the UEFA Conference League, marking their fourth straight loss in the group stage and leaving them at the bottom of the table. The match saw Larne finish with 10 men after Sean Graham received a second yellow card late in the game. Olimpija's Ivan Durdov scored the decisive goal from a corner in the 67th minute, despite Larne's commendable defensive efforts throughout the match. This defeat effectively ended Larne's hopes of advancing to the knockout stage, although they can take pride in their improved performance compared to earlier games. The match was particularly significant as it was Larne's first under interim manager Gary Haveron following Tiernan Lynch's departure. Larne now looks ahead to their next matches in the domestic league, aiming to regroup after a challenging European campaign.
