Seedy Jatta was on the scoresheet for SK Sturm Graz in their 2-1 victory over Norwegian champions FK Bodø/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League playoff second leg on Tuesday at the Wörthersee Stadion in Klagenfurt.

Bodø/Glimt took the lead in the 15th minute through Mathias Jørgensen, but Jatta equalized for Sturm Graz in the 30th minute with a composed finish.

Tim Oermann sealed the win for the Austrian side in the 73rd minute.

Despite the spirited performance, Sturm Graz failed to progress to the Champions League group stage after suffering a heavy 5-0 defeat in the first leg, which left them trailing 6-2 on aggregate.

Jatta, 22, is of Gambian descent but represents Norway, having played for the national youth teams from U-16 to U-21 level.

He began his career at Vålerenga, rising through their youth ranks into the senior squad before moving to Austrian Bundesliga giants Sturm Graz.
