The Town head to Estonia for the 2nd Leg of our UEFA Conference League First Qualifying Round tie against Paide Linnameeskond, with a one goal deficit from the 1st Leg.
Paide looked to have secured a 2-0 victory after a 92nd minute goal from Medic, only for Josh Ukek to slot home a 95th minute penalty having seen Uniss Kargbo pushed inside the Estonians box.
Despite a 2-1 defeat in the 1st Leg, there were plenty of positives to work with heading into the 2nd Leg in Pärnu, having created a number of chances to put the ball in the net throughout the match and standing resolutely in defence.
