Stalemate in Slovenia: Speel shines as Shelbourne finishes European journey
It was a night of mixed emotions at the Stadion Celje as Shelbourne FC played out a gritty 0–0 draw against Slovenian side NK Celje in their final UEFA Conference League match of 2025. While the Irish side departs the competition as the only team in the league phase to fail to score a goal, they secured a valuable second point and a massive financial windfall for the club.

Not interesting enough for a full match recap: Former Loon Aziel Jackson was an unused sub in Jagiellonia's gritty 0–0 draw with AZ Alkmaar. The Polish side had to defend for their lives after a 63rd-minute red card, leaving no room for Jackson's attacking spark this time out.

It was a night of high drama at the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa Aymá as Liga Deportiva Alajuelense and Deportivo Saprissa played out a frantic 2-2 draw in the first leg of the Apertura Final.
