The result represents a landmark moment for the Norwegian outfit, who overcame one of Eastern Europe's most decorated clubs to earn a spot on the grandest stage in club football.

The 3-1 scoreline ensured there was no doubt over who deserved to progress, as Viking delivered a performance that sent shockwaves through the qualifying rounds and announced their arrival at the highest level of the continental game.
