Dundalk face uphill task in Trondheim

Dundalk will have to repeat their feat of 12 months ago and score away in Scandinavia next week if they are to embark on another European adventure.

Just like last summer against Iceland’s FH Hafnarfjordur, David McMillan had the Lilywhites in dreamland with the opening goal against Rosenborg in last night’s second qualifying round first leg tie at Oriel Park.

However, just like last year a soft away goal — this time scored by centre back Tore Reiniussen just before half-time — leaves Stephen Kenny’s side facing an uphill task ahead of the return leg in Trondheim next Wednesday.
