ISTANBUL (AA) - Trabzonspor eliminated Molde from Norway on Thursday to qualify for the UEFA Conference League playoffs.

Molde leveled the match with a late goal from Bjorn Bergmann Sigurdarson in the 97th minute.

Regular time ended 1-1.

Neither team could score during the 30 minutes of extra time, so the match was decided on penalty kicks.

The first leg ended in a 3-3 draw at the Senol Gunes Spor Complex in Trabzon.
