CSKA 0 St Pat's Athletic 1 - the SuperSaints pull off one of the LOI's best ever European results

Saint Patrick's Athletic have produced one of the great European results by an Irish club thanks to supersub Serge Atakayi's late smash and grab goal against CSKA.

The 23-year-old, who only joined the Saints in mid-July, came on in the 81st minute at the Vasil Levsky National Stadium and six minutes later scored the only goal of the first leg in this European Conference League third round qualifying tie.

Tim Clancy's Saints were excellent throughout and deserved the lead they will bring back to Tallaght for next Thursday's second leg, with a place in the play-off against Brondby or Basel at stake - and a further €1m pay-out on top of the €750,000 already banked from this European run.
