City pay the penalty as Byrne nets Longford winner

Cork City 0 Longford Town 1 (aet)

For the second time in 12 days, Longford Town came to Leeside, kept the home side scoreless and continued their excellent form in cup competitions by virtue of an excellent Davy Byrne goal in injury-time, from only their second corner of the night.

After Neale Fenn had a shot blocked superbly by John Martin in the 8th minute, Longford created their best opening when Alan Kirby put Dessie Baker into the space and though he showed excellent balance and dribbling skills, his shot was blocked by Neal Horgan.
