Cliftonville conceded two goals early in the second half to lose to FK Auda in Latvia and exit the UEFA Conference League at the second qualifying round.

The Reds win into the game with a 2-1 deficit to claw back following last week's game in Belfast, and maintained some hope at the break after holding their hosts to a scoreless first half.

However, the Latvian side moved in front on the night on 51 minutes through Abiodun Ogunniyi who cut inside and fired low past keeper David Odumosu.

Then, ten minutes after that, the tie was put beyond doubt courtesy of Abdulrahman Taiwo's finish when he outmuscled the defence to drill the ball home.
