Linfield FC and Nõmme Kalju played out a 2-2 draw in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League. The home side twice took the lead but were pegged back, and played the majority of the match with ten men after Ethan McGee was sent off.
Ethan McGee opened the scoring for Linfield in the 11th minute, but was shown a red card just a quarter of an hour later. Oleksandr Musolitin pounced to equalise for Nõmme Kalju in the 27th minute, before Kieran Offord restored Linfield's advantage five minutes into the second half.
Despite being a man down, Linfield held the lead until the 90th minute, when Mihhail Orlov struck to snatch a draw for the Estonian side. The result leaves the tie finely balanced ahead of the second leg.
