Crusaders boss Stephen Baxter blamed “furnace” like conditions for Thursday night’s Europa Conference League defeat to little-known Bruno’s Magpies.
The Magpies, a pub team a decade ago before climbing through the leagues in Gibraltar, were playing their first ever game in European competition.
And the minnows made history with a 2-1 win over the Irish Cup winners who trailed 2-0 in searing heat before pulling one back through Jordan Forsythe on the hour mark.
