Sadiq put Hacken ahead after 14 minutes, slashing in a shot from outside the box. He doubled the lead on the counter-attack after 41 minutes, chipping goalkeeper Kelle Roos from close range.

Bojan Miovski, the most wasteful of the Dons strikers, and Amor Layouni exchanged second-half penalties.

"We did what we had to do," Sadiq told the BBC.

Hacken, who won their first Swedish title last season, had never made it past the qualifying rounds in Europe.

"It's history for us," said Sadiq before saying that he would be heading to AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands.

"It is my last game for Hacken and I am really proud that I have done my part."

He then said he had already checked that Alkmaar had advanced in the Conference League.
