Uefa Conference League: TNS European dream remains alive despite Panathinaikos loss

The New Saints' dreams of creating further European history were dealt a reality check by Panathinaikos as the Welsh champions suffered a third straight Conference League defeat.

TNS manager Craig Harrison might well feel aggrieved at the awarding of a penalty for a foul on Duricic, which visiting captain Ioannidis converted for the game's second goal just after the hour mark. TNS' final fixture is in Slovenia against Celje, the lowest seeds in their pairings who were beaten against Pafos in Thursday's penultimate round of games.

It is why the gate of close to 6,000 - 26 times higher than TNS' usual home crowd - arrived in Shrewsbury hoping to see a shock that would have immediately found a place in Welsh football history. If the opener was a cruel reminder to supporters of the reality of the task, it was particularly harsh on TNS goalkeeper Connor Roberts who had saved brilliantly to initially deny Duricic, maintaining the reputation he has built up through the European fixtures.
