Shamrock Rovers went out of the Europa League with their heads held high following a 1-0 defeat away to Juventus.
Rovers' hopes of causing a huge upset in the third qualifying round were all but over after a double from Amauri gave Juventus a 2-0 victory in the first leg at Tallaght Stadium in Dublin last week.
However, they pushed Juventus all the way and only Alessandro Del Piero's 74th-minute strike separated the teams tonight, with the Old Lady winning 3-0 on aggregate.
Bangor City's European adventure ended for another year with a 2-1 defeat in the second leg of their Europa League qualifier against Portugal's Maritimo.
Reeling from an 8-2 loss in Madeira last week, the Welsh side welcomed Maritimo to Wrexham's Racecourse Ground tonight.
They went ahead on the night through Alan Bull's ninth-minute strike but Adilson and Marquinho scored in the second half to deny their hosts a win on the night.
Northern Ireland's Cliftonville are also out after tonight's 2-1 loss at home to CSKA Sofia saw them lose 5-1 on aggregate.
Liam Boyce put Cliftonville ahead shortly before the break, only for Tomi Kostadinov (85) and Marquinhos (88) to silence the crowd with late strikes.
