FK Ventspils 4-0 Llanelli (4-1)

Llanelli's dream of a place in the Champions League second round was shattered at FK Ventspils.

The Reds went into the first round, second-leg 1-0 ahead, but the Latvian hosts were comfortable winners.

Jevgenijs Kosmacovs opened the scoring after 28 minutes and striker Vits Rimkus scored his first goal two minutes later.

Second-half defensive blunders allowed Andrei Butrik and Rimkus to send the Reds home empty-handed.

Llanelli manager Peter Nicholas said: "It's the first time we've been in the tournament and to win one game out of two - well maybe you look at that and say it's okay.

"I think we deserved to win the first game, but we were poor in this game - very poor.

"I'm disappointed with the goals we gave away and there's no point hiding from the fact that it was a problem.

"We had some great opportunities in the first 25 minutes from Andy Legg's throw-in, but after that Ventspils started to play well and I've been very impressed with them."
