Cork City’s Europa League campaign will stretch through to the third qualifying round and the month of August after Kevin O’Connor’s volley secured a famous win against their Swedish opponents tonight and, with it, a 2-1 aggregate success, writes Brendan O’Brien.

The result is worth another €220,000 to the club, bringing to €630,000 the prize money banked so far in the competition, in what was another notable European result for the domestic league after Dundalk’s success the night before in Iceland.
