Such a good move from Rovers there. Burke creates it with some lovely footwork and another great bit of agility to spin around a defender and help the ball through to Gaffney.
He keeps his left-footed effort low but his shot produces a great save. The offside flag goes up so it wouldn’t have counted anyway but that’s another flash of brilliance from the League of Ireland and FAI Cup champions.

Brilliant goal from Burke and Rovers deserve that lead!
Burke has been excellent so far and was well positioned to produce that finish. Rory Gaffney created the chance by squaring the ball to Healy, who tapped it forward for Burke to turn and shoot on sight.

That little disruption seems to have benefited Rovers. They’re managing to string some passes together and make some use of their width.

Good evening all, and welcome along to our coverage of the Conference League clash between Shamrock Rovers and Breidablik.
Stephen Bradley’s side are in Iceland where they need to bring home three points if they want to keep their play-off hopes alive. A draw against AEK Athens gives Rovers one point from four games and they will need two wins to have a chance of getting inside the top 24, with a home fixture against Hamrun Spartans of Malta to come next week.
Shamrock Rovers and Breidablik previously met in a Champions League qualifier in 2023 where the Icelandic side won over two legs.
We’ll be bringing you through all the action this evening and will have team line-ups for your shortly as we edge closer to the 5.45pm kick-off in Reykjavik.
