City raise stakes in title race

Shamrock Rovers 0 Cork City 2

The win, City's seventh in Dublin this season, leaves them one point in front with two rounds of games to come and the final match between the two title chasers at Turner's Cross still very much on course to provide a winner-takes-all ending to a memorable campaign.

Even the goal difference is tight at this stage with Cork's latest three points also leaving them two goals better off than the Candystripes. It may prove vital yet in this closest and increasingly unpredictable of races.
