Match Info

Rijeka delivered a commanding 3-1 home victory over Shelbourne in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League qualifier on August 13, 2025. The Croatian side took a firm grip on the tie with a dominant performance at Stadion Rujevica. Rijeka asserted their authority early, scoring twice in the first half to put the Irish visitors under immense pressure. Shelbourne, making a rare European appearance, struggled to cope with Rijeka's intensity and technical quality. The home side added a third goal early in the second half to seemingly put the tie to bed. Shelbourne did manage a late consolation goal, which could prove vital for morale, but the damage was done. The comprehensive win all but secures Rijeka's passage to the next qualifying round, leaving Shelbourne with a near-impossible mountain to climb in the second leg in Dublin.
