The one-off second qualifying round tie in Reykjavik ended in a 1-1 draw.

But for the second time in as many weeks, following their win over Irish side Peamount United in the last round, City progressed in a spot-kick shootout.

After a goalless first half City, based this season at Broadwood, went in front early in the second period when Jenna Clark headed Hayley Lauder's free-kick delivery down into the path of Leanne Crichton who smashed the ball into the roof of the net.

But Mist Edvardsdottir bundled home an equaliser following a corner to send the game into extra time.

City keeper Lee Alexander made a couple of vital saves to keep Valur our and it was time for penalties.

Both sides missed two of their first three penalties - Crichton netting for City but Mairead Fulton and Jo Love had their efforts saved, Fulton fromn a retake after scoring with her first effort.

Everyone started scoring in the shoot out from this point with Lauren Wade, Clare Shine and Zaneta Wyne all hitting the back of the net while Valur’s Eiriksdottir and Asdis Halldorsdottir scored for Valur.

But Arna Eiriksdottir dragged her kick wide of Lee Alexander’s post to secure City a place in the last 32.

City return to domestic league duty on Sunday when they face Hearts at Broadwood.
