Linfield 0-3 Randers

Mark McAllister battles with Randers' Jonas Dambourg Da Cruz in Lurgan

Linfield exited from the Europa League at the First Qualifying Round stage as Danish club Randers completed a 7-0 aggregate win at Mourneview Park.

After losing the first leg 4-0, the home side instead found themselves further behind to Ricki Olsen's 21st-minute tap-in.

Kaspar Lorentzen added the second in the 51st minute and Soren Berg struck the third seven minutes from time.

Mark McAllister had Linfield's best chance saved just after the interval.

Randers goalkeeper Kevin Ellegard moved smartly to smother McAllister's close-range shot.

Olsen fired the Danes ahead from close range after a Marc Nygaard cross.

Lorentzen struck the second goal by connecting with Allan Jepsen's cross.

Berg completed the scoring after outmuscling Aidan O'Kane and then ghosting past Noel Bailie and goalkeeper Alan Blayney before planting the ball into the empty net.

Linfield's home leg was taking place in Lurgan because pitch improvements are currently taking place at the Blues' Windsor Park premises.
