Flying Eagles midfielder Daniel Daga delivered a decisive moment for Molde FK as he converted the final penalty in a tense shootout against Shamrock Rovers, Soccernet.ng reports.
His goal was crucial in securing their spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League Round of 16, where they will tackle Cercle Brugge or Legia Warszawa.
The match ended in dramatic fashion, with both sides battling through a 1-1 draw on aggregate before heading into a nerve-wracking penalty shootout.
