Jeunesse Esch 2 - 1 St. Patrick's: Darren Dennehy's header sees St Patrick's through in Europa League
Posted Wednesday, July 06, 2016 by PA
St Patrick's advanced to the Europa League second qualifying round on away goals after a 2-1 loss at Luxembourg's Jeunesse Esch on Tuesday saw the tie end 2-2 on aggregate.
Patrick Stumpf's finish on 22 minutes put Jeunesse 1-0 up in the first-round second leg to draw things level overall before Darren Dennehy headed in a crucial away goal for the Irish side in the 73rd minute.
Stumpf scored again with three minutes remaining to set up a nervy finale but the hosts' pressure thereafter was in vain and they had Adrien Portier sent off in injury time as he received a second yellow card.
St Patrick's will now face either Dinamo Minsk of Belarus or Spartaks Jurmala of Latvia in the next round.
