Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko was delighted with his brace in their 3-0 Europa League victory over Aris Salonika.
Yaya Toure's deflected effort brought City a third before the end to confirm a meeting with Andriy Shevchenko's Dynamo Kiev.
Dzeko told ESPN: "I am very happy because I scored two goals in one game for the first time for Manchester City and we are in the next round.
"We scored two goals in the first 10 minutes and this was very important for this game."
City manager Roberto Mancini also paid tribute to Dzeko, saying: "I think he played well, he scored two goals which for him was very important."
Mancini had started with Dzeko, Mario Balotelli and Carlos Tevez up front of which he said: "The first half (they did) very well, it was the first time they need to play again but second half we were so tired."
The Italian admitted it took until the third goal for him to relax.
"After that goal yes, before no.
"In football never say never. If they scored one goal it would reopen the game."
