Shane Blaney scored as Sligo Rovers dumped Scottish Premier League Motherwell out of the Europa Conference League.
Blaney scored the opening goal in a famous 2-0 win for the Bit O’Red at The Showgrounds.
Aidan Keena’s goal in the first leg at Fir Park had given Sligo a slight edge.
A sold-out Showgrounds shook when Blaney broke the deadlock.
Liam Kelly, the Motherwell goalkeeper, could only watch in horror as Blaney fired a free kick to the net.
A superbly-hit shot swirled past the helpless Kelly and Sligo were now in a firm command.
In added time, Max Mata made the win safe when he struck a second.
