Ghanaian midfielder Michael Baidoo starred once again for IF Elfsborg in their Europa League qualification game against Pafos on Thursday night.
The 25-year-old was involved in two goals in the second leg of the first qualifying round with his side winning 8-2 on aggregate.
Having won 3-0 at home in the reverse fixture, Elfsborg looked on course for a place in the next round of the qualifiers.
Elfsborg took the lead after 23 minutes in Thursday's game before the home side drew level through an own goal. Pafos scored again just before the break to take the lead.
After the break, Baidoo equalised for his side to make it 2-2 before Andri Baldursson scored their third.
Baidoo then set up Ghanaian teammate Jalal Abdulai who scored just a minute after being introduced into the game.

Arber Zeneli finished off the game with Elfsborg's fifth on the night and their eighth in the tie as they progressed to the next stage.
In the two games against Pafos, Baidoo was involved in three goals, scoring one and assisting twice.
The midfielder has been heavily linked with a move away from the club this summer but Elfsborg insist on keeping him for the Europa League qualifiers.
