The New Saints were knocked out of the Nathaniel MG Cup after losing 2-1 to Cymru North side Penrhyncoch.

Saints, who beat Viktoria Plzen in the Europa Conference League on Thursday, made 11 changes for the second-round game against the tier two side.

Taylor Watts put Penrhyncoch ahead from the penalty spot against the nine-time winners of the competition.

Ifan Burrell doubled the hosts' lead early in the second half, before Beau Cornish pulled a goal back for Saints.

Penrhyncoch's Garmon Nutting was shown a straight red card late in the game, but Cymru Premier side Saints were unable to take advantage.
