Valletta and Sirens lose Europa League qualifiers

A missed penalty proved crucial for Valletta as they lost 1-0 against Bala Town of Wales at Ta’Qali in their Europa League first qualifier.

Sirens  almost pulled off a surprise win against the more fancied CSKA Sofia in their Europa League tie. They missed a penalty just after the restart, a miss that was to prove costly but they did take the lead with only 20 minutes left on the clock.

Shortly after CSKA drew level and in extra time snatched the winner to leave Sirens wondering just what might have been.
