Derek McInnes says Tromso "thought they had one foot in the next round" as Joe Wright's first-half header sent Kilmarnock into the Conference League play-offs.
The 300-strong travelling support watched on as a robust defensive display ensured Kilmarnock advance to face FC Copenhagen, who beat Czechs Banik Ostrava on penalties, for a place in the league stage."We played on the outside of their shape really well in the first half, but behind that there was a real solid shape, and we got the all important goal.
A moment of uncertainty came for the visitors when Robby McCrorie was judged to have picked up the ball after already handling it. An indirect free-kick was awarded but Tromso failed to capitalise. A late onslaught from Tromso set up a nervy end to the increasingly feisty encounter, but a resilient defensive effort kept out the hosts as they threw every body forward in the last moments to no avail.Kilmarnock’s grit in defence has shone once again.
Every player held their shape well and rarely allowed Tromso a clear sight at goal, while also effectively slowing down play in the latter stages of the tie.
