Europa League: Qarabag 2-1 Linfield - as it happened

It will be scant consolation, of course, but fair play to Shayne Lavery - that was his fourth goal in three European games, and an admirable response to having been surprisingly omitted from Michael O'Neill's Northern Ireland squad on Wednesday.

What a season he's already having!

It's all over. It's disappointment for Linfield in Baku.

The Blues lose 2-1 on the night to go out on away goals after a 4-4 aggregate score.

David Healy's men may have fallen short but they have done themselves and the Irish Premiership proud.

It wasn't to be, but they can certainly hold their heads up high.

Casement whips a cross in from the right but Vagner collects well.

The visitors are enjoying more possession now and are pushing high up the pitch. Tense few minutes coming up.

Jordan Stewart replaces Joel Cooper. Healy throwing everything at this now.

Lavery gets on the end of a pass and tries to find the onrushing Waterworth. His pass is slightly overcooked, however, and Vagner comes out to collect.

Waterworth is on for Fallon while Millar replaces Quinn.

Ferguson makes another top save to deny Gueye! The striker gets on the end of the cross but the Blues keeper gets down well to block the shot.

Callacher follows up to clear the rebound away for a corner, from which Qarabag fail to score.

Waterworth and Millar are set to be introduced.

Lavery wins a (very soft) free-kick high up the pitch. Quinn whips his cross in but Qarabag clear. Fallon tries his luck with the rebound from distance but doesn't connect with it well at all.

Time running out.

Linfield have been camped in their penalty area for the last five minutes. Qarabag want to put this to bed. Gueye has a chance to do just that but misjudges his header and it goes over.

Zoubir dances his way around two Linfield defenders in the box and produces a fine save from Ferguson.

Lovely skill by the Qarabag winger there.

Richard Almeida, who was suspended last week, has introduced a sense of authority to the Qarabag defence. He has cleaned up countless Linfield punts up the pitch.

As a result, Lavery is becoming an increasingly isolated figure. Expect Healy to make a change in the next five minutes or so.

Ailton goes into the referee's book for a clumsy challenge on Hery.

Another decent position for Linfield.

Sadygov hits the post with the free-kick! Ferguson may have had it covered.

Almost a penalty! Gueye gave Stafford the slip and the Linfield defender has to bring the striker down. It's a yard outside the area.

Yellow card for Stafford.
