Larne and Iberia needed more than two normal-time games
The first leg at Larne finished 0–0 on 4 August. Iberia won the return 2–1 after extra time on 11 August, taking the tie by the same aggregate score.
Simpson's quick reply briefly rescued Larne
Substitute Simpson equalised only two minutes after Iberia had taken the lead late in normal time. His response brought Larne back into the return and forced the contest beyond 90 minutes.
Iberia then won it through Sikharulashvili in extra time. Larne's match report confirmed a move to the Conference League, where Lincoln Red Imps were the next opponents. The late equaliser was therefore a reprieve within this tie, rather than the goal that secured a Europa League play-off place.
Larne's Europa League record for this campaign
UEFA's competition history lists Larne at the third qualifying round in 2026/27. The two-match entry relates to Iberia, rather than an eight-opponent main-phase schedule.
