Motherwell are determined not to let their European adventure end at the first hurdle after working so hard to earn the opportunity, says Emmanuel Longelo.

The Fir Park side have travelled to the Faroe Islands for the second leg of their second-round Conference League qualifier after beating HB Torshavn last week.

Well hold a two-goal advantage and left-back Longelo says they go into the game "knowing that we need to do a job".

"We worked hard to get this reward in European football, so we're never going to take it lightly," the 25-year-old added.

"It's big for me because I had only ever played in one European game before and I want to be playing in European games.

"When I was at West Ham, we played a Europa League game and lost 1-0 to Dinamo Zagreb.

"It was an amazing experience - it was one of my first starts. It was an amazing day. I still remember it.

"Motherwell want to be playing European games, so it's huge for us. The squad is feeling very good.

"Obviously we know we can't get ahead of ourselves because it's only half-time. And now we know that HB have a very strong home record.

"So we're feeling good, very confident, but we need to keep a steady head."
