Draw sees Shamrock Rovers move into good position for the return game

Shamrock Rovers secured a solid 0-0 draw against Víkingur Reykjavík in the opening match of the Champions League season.

This result sets them up nicely for the return game at Tallaght Stadium on Tuesday.

However, the match wasn't without its drama as Shamrock Rovers' D. Nugent was sent off in the 81st minute.

Both teams now look ahead to their next encounter on 16 July, where they will clash again for a decisive battle.
