Europa League wrap: Michael Duffy's wonderstrike sees Dundalk through

What a finish!

Dundalk are through to the second qualifying round of the Europa League.

First-half goals from Pat Hoban and Michael Duffy, the latter a volleyed wonderstrike, secured a 2-1 win over Levadia Tallinn at Oriel Park.

Pick that out! What a goal from Michael Duffy. @DundalkFC lead Levadia Tallinn 2-1 at Oriel Park (3-1 on aggregate) and you'll do very well to find a better finish anywhere in Europe tonight than this peach of a volley #RTEsoccer pic.twitter.com/ArDW8MxkAt

Dundalk progress to a meeting with Cypriot cup-winners AEK Larnaca.

Shamrock Rovers pushed AIK to extra time tonight, before eventually making a gallant exit.

Dan Carr's 19th-minute strike levelled the tie and forced 30-minutes of extra time.

But AIK found the net just four minutes after the restart to win 2-1 on aggregate.

Full time in Stockholm. 1-1 on the night, AIK win 2-1 on aggregate. A fantastic effort by the Hoops who will rue missed chances, but take nothing away from the Hoops performance who left everything on the pitch 👏 #RoversInEurope ☘️ pic.twitter.com/cvdZFDpK4F

A huge performance from @derrycityfc tonight with goals from Ally Roy and @ronanhale9 but they fall just agonisingly short of going through. pic.twitter.com/88k9WVKQTy
