Ghana U23 star Emmanuel Yeboah was on target for Danish club Brondby IF as they progressed in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifications on Thursday.

Brondby advanced to the next round of the qualifiers after claiming a comfortable 8-2 aggregate over Kosovan side FK Llapi at the Zahir Pajaziti Stadium.

Llapi got the opening goal of the match after 42 minutes through midfielder Elvir Gashijan.

Yeboah levelled the scoring of the match with his third goal of the campaign just a few minutes into the second half of the second leg. He was assisted by teenager Oscar Schwartau.

Norwegian forward Ohi Omoijuanfo gave Brondby the lead for the first time in the game after converting a penalty kick in the 61st minute.

An own goal by Brondby goalkeeper Thomas Mekkelsen restored parity for the home side, but that couldn't prevent their elimination from the Conference League.

Brondby won the first leg of the tie 6-0 a week ago in Denmark.

Yeboah has now scored three goals after four appearances into the new season, having bagged a brace in the opening fixture of the Danish Superliga.
