Here's how much Sligo Rovers and St Pat's made after their Europa Conference League wins

It was a magical night for Sligo Rovers and St Pat's in the Europa Conference League as the two Irish sides progressed in Europe.

Going into the tie, many expected Sligo Rovers to be dumped out at the hands of Motherwell but it was a comprehensive win for the Bit O'Red.

Against the odds, Sligo won in Scotland 1-0 and would go on to win 2-0 at Sligo.

Sligo Rovers are set for a minimum pay out of €850,000 while St Pat's are set for a pay out of €750,000.

Both sides have qualified for the 3rd qualifying round which means if they are eliminated they will receive €550,000 from UEFA.

On top of that, both sides nab €100,000 for each round they have played in.

Sligo Rovers entered in the first round of qualification while St Pat's received a bye which is why the Bit O'Red are set for an extra €100,000.

If the two make it through to the next round they will also nab an extra €300,000 each while qualification to the group stage means a minimum pay out of €2,940,000.
