Dundee United defeated AZ Alkmaar 1-0 in the first leg of their Europa Conference League third round qualifying tie at a packed Tannadice on Thursday.
In United's first European fixture for 10 years, a superb second-half goal from Glenn Middleton was the difference between the teams, who meet again in Holland next week.
If Jack Ross' men progress to the play-offs they will face either Riga or Gil Vicente, who drew 1-1 in Latvia this evening.
