Aberdeen win in Bosnia-Herzegovina to set up Apollon Limassol clash
Friday 28 July 2017 21:43, UK
Greg Stewart and Gary Mackay-Steven netted their first Aberdeen goals as the Dons sealed Europa League progress with a 2-0 victory over Siroki Brijeg.
Ryan Christie created both goals in the final 18 minutes of the clash in Bosnia and Herzegovina to secure a 3-1 aggregate win and set up a third qualifying-round encounter with Apollon Limassol of Cyprus.
The 22-year-old's beautifully disguised pass was tucked away by Stewart for Aberdeen's opening goal of the night on 72 minutes.
And Christie was the provider again six minutes later with an angled ball, smashed high into the far corner by Mackay-Steven.
Aberdeen face Cypriot opposition in the next Europa League qualifying round but another Cypriot side - AEK Larnaca - ended Cork City's participation with a 1-0 (2-0 on aggregate) win over the Irish side.
Shamrock Rovers are also out of the competition after a 2-0 defeat at Czech side Mlada Boleslav saw them lose 5-2 on aggregate.
