Elfsborg 2-1 Iskra-Stal 15th July 2010

Elfsborg madea winning start to their Europa League campaign but will face a stern test next week in Moldova after Isktra-Stal found an away goal that may prove vital.

Iskra-Stal set about taking a draw and we were scoreless in this tie until James Keene put Elfsborg 1-0 up after 57 minutes. That goal seemed to put Elfsborg in the driving seat to get another goal which duly arrived in the 79th minute when Stefan Ishizaki was bought down in the box by Serhgei Gafina. The resulting penalty was tucked home by Martin Ericsson.

To their credit Iskta-Stal set about salvaging something from their trip to Boras and found a vital away goal with three minutes left. Sub Alexandru Tofan with the goal that may prove vital for Iskra-Stal next Thursday.
