Lincoln Red Imps competed in the UEFA Conference League qualifying play-off against Larne. In the first leg held in Gibraltar, Larne secured a 2-0 victory. The match was influenced by a first-half red card issued to Lincoln Red Imps player Yussef Flalhi Idrissi via VAR, leaving the Gibraltarian side with 10 men.

Larne scored both goals late in the match, with Paul O'Neill scoring a header in the 85th minute and Kevin O'Hara adding a second goal during stoppage time. Larne holds a two-goal advantage heading into the second leg scheduled for August 27.

Ahead of the decisive second leg at Inver Park in Northern Ireland, Lincoln Red Imps are seeking a significant comeback to remain in European competition. While the team will be without Idrissi due to his red card, players such as Torrilla and Britto are expected to return to the lineup. Coaches Juanma Pavón and José María Pajares have emphasized the necessity of high concentration and clinical finishing. The squad enters the encounter with renewed morale following a Rock Cup victory against St Joseph’s FC.
