Job done for Larne who take a one goal lead back to Inver Park next week thanks to a 1-0 victory over Tre Fiori on their travels to San Marino.

Matty Lusty's strike from close range just before half-time is the difference as the Inver Reds come out on top at the Stadio Olimpico di Serravalle.

Benji Magee does extremely well as he beats three or four players, but is tackled just as he goes to pull the trigger.

Josh Ukek curls a cross in with his right foot as Jordan McEneff rushes into the box, but it's too close to the keeper as Michele Nardi gathers.

An additional five minutes will be played in San Marino.

Another change for the visitors as James Simpson replaces Sean Graham.

Just two minutes of normal time remaining at the Stadio Olimpico di Serravalle.

Tre Fiori are on top late on as they go in search of an equaliser.

The Larne defence are standing firm so far, with the Inver Reds still looking dangerous on the counter attack.

New Larne signing Kevin O'Hara replaces goal scorer Matty Lusty.

There is also a double change for the hosts as Federico Dolcini and Nico Manara replace Tommaso Bernardi and Federico Bendettini.

Matty Lusty's second goal has been chalked off as VAR intervenes and referee Artem Gasparyan overturns the original decision of a goal.

Josh Ukek is deemed to have fouled Alex Sirri when dispossessing the Tre Fiori player moments before Lusty's strike.

Larne lead 1-0 with less than 10 minutes of normal time to play.

Just over 15 minutes left of normal time in San Marino and Larne's lead remains a slender one.

Tre Fiori have certainly grown into the game in the second half, but so far have been unable to really trouble Rohan Ferguson in the Larne goal.

The Inver reds remain a threat going forward in search of a second goal.

Huge penalty appeals from Larne as Matty Lusty tumbles to ground under the challenge of Giulio Ponticelli.

Referee Artem Gasparyan is having none of it and waves play on.

There is another pause in the action for a 'cooling break' midway through the second half.

Jordan McEneff creates a shooting opportunity after some tidy footwork in a central area but can't find a way past Michele Nardi in the Tre Fiori goal.

McEneff's strike is straight at the goalkeeper who gathers routinely.

Gary Haveron makes two changes as Josh Ukek and Jordan McEneff replace Ronan Doherty and Montel Gibson in the 63rd minute.

There's also one change for the hosts as Federico Pesaresi replaces Simone Rea.

Tre Fiori captain Matteo Prandelli is shown a yellow card for his late challenge on Dan Bent.

There's possibly even an argument that Prandelli should be shown a red, much to Gary Haveron's frustration.

Tre Fiori manager Danilo Girolomoni makes a double change as Guilio Ponticelli and Mattia Sancisi replace Alessandri D'Addario and Pietro Mengucci.

Sean Graham is afforded acres of space down the left as he tries to pick out a red shirt in the penalty box, but Tre Fiori clear their lines.

The hosts go straight up the other end and create a chance of their own before Matt Ridley thwarts the danger for the Inver Reds.

Aaron Donnelly and Matteo Prandelli have a bit of back and forth before referee Artem Gasparyan puts an end to their handbags.

Benji Magee almost makes an instant impact as he strikes from distance with his right foot, but can't quite keep his effort down as it sails over the crossbar.

The visitors have started the second half the way they finished the first and continue to look the more likely of the two sides.

We're back under way in San Marino for the second half.

Just one change at the break as Gary Haveron introduces Benji Magee with Sam McClelland making way.
