Linfield secured a money-spinning Champions League tie against Celtic as a goalless draw in San Marino earned a 1-0 aggregate win over La Fiorita.
Cameron Stewart missed a great first-half chance for Linfield but they had to battle hard to repel pressure from the home side in the second period.
Aaron Burns also wasted a second-half chance but the visitors had some nervous moments before progressing.
Linfield will host Celtic in their first leg on Friday 14 July.
It is estimated that the second qualifying round tie against the Scottish champions could earn the Irish Premiership winners up to £1million in Uefa prize money, gate receipts, television revenue, advertising and merchandising.
Security concerns around the tie led to agreement that any potential first leg between the clubs at Windsor Park would be moved from the normal midweek slot to the Friday because of the clash with the 12th of July marches in Northern Ireland.
Celtic also announced they would not take supporters to Belfast because of safety worries.
