Ghanaian striker Jalal Abdulai was on the scoresheet in IF Elfsborg's 5-2 victory over Cypriot side Pafos FC on Thursday night.
The 19-year-old netted the fourth of the five goals as Elfsborg secured an 8-2 aggregate victory following a 3-0 win in their home-leg tie to advance to the second round of the Europa League qualifiers.
Abdulai scored just a minute after being brought on for his first appearance since picking an injury on June 1.

The Swedish side are host to other Ghanaian talents in highly-rated midfielder Michael Baidoo, who also netted in the win over Pafos, and defender Terry Yegbe.
Elfsborg now have to face Moldovan giants Sherif Tiraspol in the second round of qualifying.
Abdulai joined Elfsborg from Ghanaian outfit Inter Allies in 2023 and has since scored 7 goals in 26 appearances in his first full season at the club.
