Result: Saints 1 - Hegelmann 0

Aidan Keena showed immense courage to end his drought in a Dublin heatwave as Saint Patrick's Athletic gave themselves a big chance of UEFA Conference League progress with a deserved 1-0 win over FC Hegelmann.

Keena was not long on the pitch when he blasted home a penalty after Barry Baggley was taken down in the box with nine minutes remaining of a first leg dominated by the Saints.

It was Keena's first goal in Europe and his first since May in any competition, while Mason Melia, his 17-year-old offensive ally, missed a scatter of chances to put Stephen Kenny's men in front.
