Portadown achieved a famous European victory as Richard Lecky's goal in Latvia helped the club beat Skonto Riga 2-1 on aggregate in the Europa League.
The Ports were underdogs after drawing 1-1 at Shamrock Park last week but Lecky's 29th-minute goal was enough to see Ronnie McFall's side go through.
Lecky also scored Portadown's first-leg goal last Thursday.
It has the first time that the long-serving McFall has guided his team to victory in a European tie.
Lecky sealed the victory for the Ports with a superb close-range volley after superb work by Kevin Braniff.
Portadown now face Qarabag from Azerbaijan, with the first leg on Thursday, 15 July at Shamrock Park.
