The New Saints manager Craig Harrison insists his side will not sit back and defend a three-goal advantage when they travel to Montenegro for the second leg of their Champions League qualifier.
Cymru Premier champions Saints beat FK Decic 3-0 in the first qualifying round first leg at Park Hall on Tuesday.
Brad Young scored twice in what was an impressive performance from Harrison鈥檚 side, who go to Podgorica for the second leg on Tuesday, 16 July.
鈥淲e play on the front foot so we can鈥檛 afford to play any other way,鈥 Harrison told 91热爆 Sport Wales.
鈥淲hat we don鈥檛 want to do is invite pressure from the first minute until the last.
鈥淥bviously there will be large spells you can deal with. But we can鈥檛 just rely on going out there and defending to keep a clean sheet.
鈥淲e鈥檒l try and score goals because I think if we get one or maybe two goals then the tie鈥檚 over.鈥
First-half goals from Dan Davies and a brace from Young secured the first leg win for Saints.
鈥淭wo fantastic crosses and two fantastic headers,鈥 Harrison said of former Aston Villa forward Young鈥檚 goals.
鈥淲e鈥檝e had two or three other opportunities and maybe 4-0 would make it a real tough game for them to come back into.
鈥淏ut if someone had [told me] the way the game went and the result that we got... if I鈥檓 not happy with that then I need a kick up my backside.鈥
