Shelbourne v Linfield: Champions League qualifier as it happened
Briefly

Shels secured a 1-0 victory over Linfield in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League qualifying round at Tolka Park. The only goal of the match came in the 58th minute when Sean Boyd assisted Mipo Odubeko. Despite Linfield's efforts, they could not equalize. The return leg will take place at Windsor Park next Wednesday, maintaining pressure as Shelbourne aims to advance in the tournament.
The final play of the game sees a rather weary freekick from Linfield defended by Mark Coyle before Luis Godinho's whistle sounds for the last time this evening.
Joey O'Brien's side eventually made their dominance count in the 58th-minute as Sean Boyd found Mipo Odubeko for the game's only goal. A well-taken one at that!
Shelbourne will now travel to Windsor Park next Wednesday where they will take on Linfield once again at 7.45pm.
