Shamrock Rovers exit UEFA Conference League after penalty shootout loss to Molde

Shamrock Rovers were eliminated from the UEFA Conference League after losing to Molde in a penalty shootout. The match took place at Tallaght Stadium, where Rovers had previously dominated the second leg but could not secure victory. This season marked a historic achievement for Rovers, as they became the first Irish team to reach the knockout phase of a European competition. Despite the disappointment, manager Stephen Bradley expressed pride in the team's accomplishments over the two-season journey. Rovers now shift focus to their domestic league campaign, having lost their opening match against Bohemians. Bradley emphasized the importance of moving forward and learning from the experience as they prepare to face Cork City next.
