With the first qualifying round done we take a look at the results, and what they mean for the teams joining in the next round.

The shock of the round comes from Scotland, where Kilmarnock felt the fire from the Welsh dragon, a 79th minute penalty from Morris proved enough to send the Welsh side Connah’s Quay Nomads through to the second round 3-2 on aggregate. The Welsh side will now have to brave the trip to Serbia to play Partizan Belgrade.

Cork City managed to win away in Luxembourg 2-1 but after a 2-0 home defeat in the first leg they see themselves dumped out of the competition against the Luxembourg side (3-2 Agg), who will now have to travel over to Scotland to face Rangers who themselves got a resounding result against St. Joseph’s of Gibraltar, Morelos and Defoe showing to be a lethal strike-force helping Gerrard through after a 10-0 win over the two legs.

Aberdeen won home and away against Finland side RoPS, but only managed to scrape the away win 2-1 after a 94th minute winner, sending them through to face Georgian side Chikhura Sachkhere in the second round.

Another Irish team got knocked out at the first round. This time St Patrick’s Athletic got hammered by IFK Norrkoping. The Swedish side won 4-1 on aggregate.

Northern Ireland took their turn in getting humiliated by getting knocked out 11-0! Against Swedish side Malmo. Turns out the luck of the Irish runs dry when the Swedes come knocking.

Brondby survived a scare away from home after losing 2-0. Luckily the danish team carried a 4-1 victory over from the first leg meaning they go through to the next round (4-3).
