FC Honka 2-0 Bangor City

Europa League

Bangor City retained slim hopes of Europa League progress by losing 2-0 to Finnish side FC Honka in the second qualifying round, first-leg tie.

The Welsh Premier League club trailed 1-0 at half-time to midfielder Joel Perovuo's 15th-minute strike and Rasmus Schuller struck in the 74th.

Bangor are Wales' only hope in Europe with Llanelli and The New Saints out.

Rhyl also lost their Champions League qualifier home leg 4-0 on Tuesday against Partizan Belgrade.

Chris Sharp and Kieran Killackey had two of the visitors' rare shots on goal on a night when they defended in determined fashion for long periods.

The return leg against a side lying fifth in Finland's top flight takes place at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground on Thursday, 23 July.
