European exit for Linfield as Floriana see off 10-man Blues
Linfield’s European adventure ended in Windsor Park woe against Floriana of Malta on a night of early disappointment and late drama either side of a red card.
The Maltese champions moved into a shock lead on nine minutes as Brandon Paiber collected the ball on the edge of the box with his back to goal and touched a pass into the path of the advancing Matias Nicolas Garcia.
Garcia’s drive from distance took a slight deflection that proved decisive to steer the shot beyond Chris Johns between the Blues posts.
