Kelvin Boateng's goal helps Spartak Trnava progress in Europa Conference League

Ghanaian forward Kelvin Boateng scored a great goal which helped Spartak Trnava advance to the next round of the UEFA Conference League on Thursday.

His goal forced the game into a penalty shootout and the Slovakian top-flight side emerged triumphant against Sepsi Sf. Gheorghe of Romania.
