Shamrock Rovers swept Progres Niedercorn aside in their Europa League tie tonight to reach the second qualifying round.

Pat Fenlon's side record a 3-0 win at Tallaght Stadium.

After the two sides played out a scoreless first-leg, the Hoops finally made the breakthrough tonight to also go ahead on aggregate.

David Webster was the player to break the deadlock in the 21st minute when he latched onto a loose ball in the visitors' penalty area and slotted home from just eight yards out.

Kieran 'Marty' Waters added a second for the home side shortly before half-time with a header into an empty net.

And Waters was on hand to add a third to put Rovers through.

They will face either Norwegian side, Odd Ballklubb or Sheriff of Moldova with the Scandinavian side holding a 3-0 aggregate lead ahead of the second-leg of their tie on Thursday.
