Progres getting into it more now
37'Alessandro Fiorani and Giuseppe Rossini make the most of a poor Rovers turnover and rip through the Rovers midfield forcing a 3-on-2 at the back. The ball is fed out to Menai who tries to square it to Rossini but David Webster gets back and heads the ball clear to safety.
32'Mickael Garos whips in a very dangerous ball into the six yard box as his curling cross beats both Madden and Webster and finds Menai with his back to goal six yards out. The Niederkorn winger tries to turn and shoot but Hyland is quick off his line and clears the ball to safety.
30'Cassan takes another free kick from near the halfway line and heaves the long ball into the Rovers box but the breaking ball beats everyone and takes one bounce before finding the open arms of Craig Hyland who takes it in with ease.

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
3-0 Waters
Rovers grab a third after an excellent cross field move involving a number of players. Simon Madden started the move at the back and played the ball up the field finding captain Pat Cregg who squared it to Drennan who in turn laid it off to Waters who buried it on the overlap, firing the ball past Dog at the near post. Great team goal and Rovers first well executed passage of the evening.

Well that's Duffer's wages sorted. Beat Odd and they've gotten next years too.
Good win for Rovers in the end. Didn't have to work too hard for it and could have scored a few more if needed. Odds won't have learned much from that performance, so hopefully they'll underestimate us going into the next round. Marty Waters is an absolute star - the change in him over the past couple of months has been nothing short of amazing.
It's not really a win bonus. You get 200k (210k after the first) for every qualifying round you compete in the competition. The money is officially to cover the cost of playing the game, not a bonus for winning.
Well done to Rovers, seems like a good clinical win.
It seems the heat in the first leg was an influencing factor in drawing. Rovers seemed well in control. Now UCD, Pats, and Cork step up and finish the job and get all side through. Shall wait 'til next week before adding Dundalk to that list.
An odd game in Tallaght. Progress had as much of the possession and as many chances as Rovers but still managed to lose 3-0. Very enjoyable game, though - and pleased Rovers went through. Their third goal was excellent.

Expecting a tense night tomorrow I'm confident by not over confident I think we will concede but I have faith we can put 3 past them on the night if not the 90 mins.
Decent win last night for Rovers, even more decent is picking up 400k or so min, less travel exps for two trips, but still decent money.
What do Crusaders get for getting past the first round, does anyone know?
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
I saw figures online that they get €200k first round, €350k second round & bonus of €250k for champions not in group stages.
