Linfield are just 90 minutes away from becoming the first Irish League team to reach the group stages of the Europa League.
It's after they scored a shock 3-2 win in Thursday night's play-off first leg against Qarabag at Windsor Park.
Former Everton player Shayne Lavery struck twice for the Blues including a brilliant individual goal, running from half-way to hit what proved to be the winner.
