Flying Eagles midfielder Daniel Daga delivered a decisive moment for Molde FK as he converted the final penalty in a tense shootout against Shamrock Rovers, Soccernet.ng reports.
His goal was crucial in securing their spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League Round of 16, where they will tackle Cercle Brugge or Legia Warszawa.
The match ended in dramatic fashion, with both sides battling through a 1-1 draw on aggregate before heading into a nerve-wracking penalty shootout.
Daga, who showed composure, stepped up and struck his penalty low into the left side of the net, leaving Shamrock Rovers’ goalkeeper Edward McGinty with no chance.
However, it was not just his clutch penalty that caught his attention—it was his post-goal celebration.

The 18-year-old midfielder moved toward the fan area, where he then lifted his jersey to reveal an Danie: “Unless they k*ll God,” a similar fashion during the Flying Eagles World Cup campaign.
Since joining the Norwegian side, the former Flying Eagles star has continued to impress with his energy, and confidence in midfield.
With Molde now through to the Round of 16, Daga will aim to cement his place on in the team, which could lead to a move to his most admired clubs, Liverpool, and Real Madrid, in the future.
