O’Donnell slots winner on Hoops' special night

FK Partizan 1 Shamrock Rovers 2 (aet) (Agg: 2-3)

Pat Sullivan was another hero among a team of stalwarts, scoring a stunning equaliser on the night, as Rovers stood tall in the 32 degree heat and raucous atmosphere of the Partizan Stadion.

Michael O’Neill’s side have thus created history by becoming the first Irish side to make the group stages of a European competition and go into today’s Europa League draw with financial rewards well in excess of €1 million now on offer.
