Cork City secure home semi-final
27/03/2006 - 22:07:37Drogheda United 0 Cork City 2
Keeper Dan Connor became the fourth Drogheda player to be sent off in matches between these sides this season as Cork sealed home advantage in the semi-finals of the Setanta Sports Cup.
Drogheda went into the game needing to win by two clear goals to top Group 1, but once Denis Behan struck after 13 minutes the game was up.
The goal came somewhat out of the blue as Behan, who had scored in Cork’s 2-0 win over Drogheda earlier in the competition, let fly from 25 yards.
The shot seemed to deceive keeper Dan Connor and went in off the far post.
Connor was shown a straight red card on 83 minutes for a push on Behan and George O’Callaghan slotted home the resulting penalty.
