continental victory as Wales' The New Saints
breezed through and Crusaders also advanced
Lincoln Red Imps were left celebrating a historic
victory as a 2-1 triumph at Santa Coloma booked
their spot in the second round of Champions
League qualifying.
After a fruitless 2014-15 campaign in Europe for
the first Gibraltarian sides to compete in Europe,
Lincoln - who were locked at 0-0 from last week's
home first leg – secured their country's first
continental victory by beating their Andorran
opponents at Camp d'Esports d'Aixovall.
The Red Imps were up against it when Ildefons
Lima put the home side ahead on the stroke of
half-time.
It took just three second-half minutes for Lincoln
to equalise, though, as Anthony Bardon got his
name on the scoresheet and it was even better in
the 64th minute when Lee Casciaro completed the
turnaround.
Welsh side The New Saints made it past the first-
round qualifying stage for the fourth season in
succession. Michael Wilde scored a 47-minute
hat-trick in a 4-1 win over B36 that ensured a 6-
aggregate victory over the Faroe Islands outfit.
Northern Irish champions Crusaders progressed o
the away goals rule thanks to 1-1 at Levadia of
Estonia.
Rounding of the action, Armenian side Pyunik beat
San Marino's national champions Folgore 4-2 ove
the two legs after a 2-1 success on the night.
