UWCL Report: FC Valur 3-0 Shelbourne FC

Shelbourne's European dream came to an end after they fell to a 3-0 defeat to Icelandic side Valur Reykjavík at Mestni stadion Fzaneriija in Slovenia this evening and knocked out of Champions League qualification.

This group one final of the first round of qualification for the European competition saw Shelbourne enjoy good periods of play throughout the game but Valur's class proved too much in the end.

The Icelander's American striker Cyera Hintzen opened scoring on 20 minutes while Sólveig Jóhannesdóttir doubled Valur's lead on the stroke of half-time.

A horror start to the second-half saw Valur charge at Shels and Leah Doyle deflect a dangerous cross into her own net within a minute of play restarting.
