Soccer – Europa League Review:St Patrick's Athletic progressed to the third qualifying round of the Europa League after overturning a first-leg deficit against Shakhtyor Karagandy of Kazakhstan, while Bohemians went out, 3-1 on aggregate against Olimpija Ljubljana.
St Pat’s ensured their passage with a 2-0 win at Richmond Park giving them a 3-2 aggregate victory.
David McMillan and Derek Doyle scored in either half to secure a third-round tie with Ukrainian outfit Karpaty Lviv.
Fellow League of Ireland side Bohemians failed to advance after a 1-1 draw at home to Slovenian side Olimpija Ljubljana.
Glenn Cronin had given the hosts the lead but their chances of qualifying for the next round were all but extinguished when Ger O’Brien scored an own goal with less than 10 minutes remaining.
Fulham kept their European dream alive with a comprehensive victory over Crusaders at Craven Cottage.
The west Londoners' second leg win came after a comfortable 3-1 success at Seaview and sets up a trip to Croatian side RNK Split next week.
Fulham were frustrated in the first half and Andrew Johnson's neat finish to a team move was the only goal to show for their barrage of attacks.
However, goals were much easier to come by after the restart as Damien Duff, Bobby Zamora and Steve Sidwell all netted to send the majority of the 15,767 supporters home happy.
However, Fulham were controlling possession with ease and Johnson almost took advantage with a fizzing drive in the eighth minute.
The Cottagers turned their dominance into an opening goal with a slick team move in the 19th minute.
Debutant John Arne Riise squared a cross from the left flank and Zamora's step over gave Johnson the opportunity to jink wide of his marker and strike low into the bottom left corner.
Sidwell went closest to netting another first-half goal, shooting just wide after a superb team move cut through the middle of the Crusaders team.
Fulham continued in the same vein after the break and only a point-blank save from prevented Sidwell nodding home Duff's free-kick.
Duff soon ended any remaining hopes the Northern Irish side had of progression by shooting across goalkeeper O'Neill from a tight angle after latching on to a great ball from Philippe Senderos.
Fulham netted a third goal in the 66th minute after another slick team move, with Duff stepping over Johnson's left-wing cross for Zamora to finish with gusto.
And the west Londoners' advantage was increased further four minutes later as Sidwell belatedly netted, heading home Duff's corner.
