Easy win for Elfsborg
The second leg in the southern Latvian city of Daugavpils was a formality following the Swedes’ 7-1 first-leg success last week. However, a professional performance by the Elfsborg players saw them record another comfortable win.
James Keene opened the scoring shortly before half-time, and after the interval further goals by Viktor Claesson and Niklas Hult were supplemented by a late penalty by the substitute Martin Andersson.
