Pat’s rally to overcome Dundalk
26/08/2006 - 22:26:08St. Patrick’s Athletic 2 Dundalk 0
St. Pat’s breathed a sigh of relief as goals from Paul Keegan and Anto Murphy got them safely through to the quarter-finals of the cup against in-form Dundalk tonight.
A Robbie Dunne header came back off the Saints’ bar as First Division Dundalk came within inches of taking the lead on the half hour.
But Saints slowly got on top and went in front eight minutes later. Dundalk keeper Chris Bennion fumbled a cross in from the right by Mark Quigley and Keegan headed the loose ball into the net.
Robert McAuley thought he had levelled when heading home a corner on 58 minutes, but it was ruled out for pushing.
Murphy then sealed the win on 66 minutes when he got on the end of Sean O’Connor’s superb cross to side-foot past Bennion.
