Cliftonville bowed out of the Europa Conference League following a three-goal reversal to DAC 1904 at Solitude.

The Reds, already trailing 2-1 from the first leg, faced an uphill challenge if they were to progress and their task became even more difficult after just 12 minutes when Dominik Veselovsky edged the visitors in front after Norbert Balogh found him with a square ball.

That was how it stayed until just after the hour when Nikola Krstovic came off the bench to beat Fynn Talley with a stunning 30-yard drive.

The same player, who had scored the winner a week ago, then added a third in the closing moments from the spot after Talley had upended Miroslav Kacer.
