Larne secured a spot in the second round of the UEFA Conference League qualifying with a 4-2 victory in a penalty shootout against FK Auda in Riga.
Following a goalless first leg at the Ballymena Showgrounds, Larne managed to draw 2-2 after extra time at Stadions Skonto, coming from behind twice to level the score.
Larne executed their penalties flawlessly, with Chris Gallagher, Paul O'Neill, Dan Bent, and Tiernan O'Connor all successfully converting their spot kicks.
Rohan Ferguson was instrumental in the win, saving Kemehlo Nguena's penalty, while Ousmane Camara missed his attempt, allowing Larne to advance.
In the next round, Nathan Rooney's team will face either FC Sheriff Tiraspol from Moldova or FC Prishtina from Kosovo later this month.
