Richard Lecky's goal handed Ronnie McFall's side a 2-1 aggregate win and sets up back-to-back meetings with Azerbaijani side FK Qarabag over the next two weeks.

Lecky, who also scored in the first leg at Shamrock Park seven days ago, volleyed home what proved to be the winner on 29 minutes when he connected with a Kevin Braniff cross from the right after he had found his way past no fewer than three home defenders.

The Ports faced an onslaught as the game progressed but held out to record their first European victory in 34 years.
