FAI Cup

UCD leave it late to win in Galway as Bohs see off Lucan United to progress to quarter-final.

Carr doubled the tally on 53 minutes as he rose to head in a Ledwidge cross. The First Division side had chances to extend their advantage at that stage but were pegged back on 73 minutes when substitute Ryan O’Kane broke up the left before firing across Moody for his first senior goal for his hometown club. Despite a smart start from the home team, UCD pounced to score in the 17th minute as Lonergan connected with Dylan Duffy’s inviting free-kick. Mikie Rowe manufactured sufficient space to rifle a splendid leveller on the stroke of half-time. Central midfielder, Sadou Diallo, drilled a low shot into the corner of the net as Cork failed to clear their lines. Six minutes after the restart UCD edged ahead again courtesy of a sweet free-kick from Duffy. Duffy curled a free-kick agonisingly over the crossbar in the 68th minute as Derry continued to press without success. Cork then lost the services of their busy striker in the 50th minute after Keating appeared to get into a tangle with Derry centre back, Mark Connolly. Played in by Michael McLoughlin, Joshu Ukek was unfortunate to see his drive come back off a post. Not unexpectedly, Shelbourne dominated the game against the Ulster Senior League side. Will Patching took possession of the ball and he lashed it home from the spot. The Premier Division side grabbed the initiative after just 10 minutes when awarded a penalty.

It was just a case of Derry killing the game off after that, and the killer goal finally arrived on 72 minutes. Cork City’s chances took a huge blow just five minutes into the second half when striker Ruairi Keating was given a straight red card after an alleged stamp on Mark Connolly. The City winger got to the ball just before goalkeeper James Corcoran, who sent Graydon crashing to the ground, and after a moment’s thought, referee Gavin Colfer pointed to the penalty spot.

Central midfielder, Sadou Diallo, drilled a low shot into the corner of the net as Cork failed to clear their lines. To be fair, Cork did well to keep the scoreline respectable as their aspirations for promotion are significant and accompanied by a small band of supporters they faced the 300 miles journey back to Leeside. The Cork player may have grabbed Connolly's shirt while he was on the ground, a red card from the referee appeared to be harsh in the circumstances. Cork then lost the services of their busy striker in the 50th minute after Keating appeared to get into a tangle with Derry centre-back, Mark Connolly. Michael Duffy smashed the ball off the Cork upright in the 25th minute as Derry continued to boss the ball, yet they huffed and puffed in the front line, regularly over-elaborating when taking too many touches when well placed in front of goal. Patrick McEleney lofted a high ball into the danger area and as Ryan Graydon rose to meet the ball he appeared to be clearly impeded by Cork keeper, James Corcoran.

But Ruaidhrí Higgins' side — with goals from Will Patching and Sadou Diallo — made hard work of the win in front of another large attendance. Advertisement.

Derry City are into the quarter-finals of the FAI Cup after easily seeing off 10-man Cork City at the Brandywell.

It was just a case of Derry killing the game off after that, and the killer goal finally arrived on 72 minutes. Any hopes Cork had of fighting their way back into the game ended just five minutes into the second half when striker Ruairi Keating was given a straight red card after an alleged stamp on Mark Connolly. The opening goal of a one-sided tie came after just 11 minutes when Patrick McEleney picked out the run of Ryan Graydon into the Cork area.
