Dundalk are through to the second-round of qualifying for the Europa League.
Stephen Kenny's side recorded a 2-1 win over Levadia Tallin at Oriel Park. Dundalk won the first-leg 1-0 and finished the job against the Estonian side on Thursday night, with Michael Duffy scoring the goal of the night. The Dundalk winger smashed home a wonderful volley at the back post, after being teed-up by Jamie McGrath's deft pass, to make it 2-0 on the night.
Patrick Hoban opened the scoring for the Lilywhites and the Estonians got a goal back just before half-time, but Kenny's team held on for the win.
They'll play Cypriot side AEK Larnaca in the next round.
Here's Duffy's goal:
