Shamrock Rovers drop to Europa League qualifiers after aggregate defeat to Ararat Armenia

Shamrock Rovers hopes of qualifying for the Champions League ended after they were defeated 3-2 on aggregate against Ararat Armenia, despite a 2-1 in Tallaght Stadium.

Stephen Bradley's side needed a fast start after their 2-0 defeat last week, and had their first in the 13th minute through Matthew Healy.

Aaron Greene levelled the tie in the 38th minute, as the League of Ireland champions were 2-0 up on the night.

However, Ararat Armenia scored the goal they needed to put them ahead through Sandro Lima in the 75th minute.
