Magic Melia leads the way as the Saints progress in Europe
MASON MELIA turned on the style in Europe to ease St Patrick's Athletic into the second qualifying round of the Europa Conference League.
The Tottenham-bound striker scored his first European goal after just six minutes to settle any nerves the Saints might have had, as they looked to build on last week's 1-0 win at Richmond Park.
And he provided a classy assist for Kian Leavy's second-half strike to end any prospect of a come back by Lithuanian side FC Hegelmann.
They will now face Kalju of Estonia.
Leavy was outstanding throughout, with his fancy footwork causing all sorts of problems for Hegelmann, while Jay McClelland played a big role on the left.
Joe Redmond and Tom Grivosti put in a couple of big blocks and tackles to curb the limited attacking threat of their hosts.
