Early goal sealed our fate, says Richardson

DAMIEN RICHARDSON felt after last night’s comprehensive defeat at the hands of Red Star Belgrade that there had been two key moments over the course of the two legs which had decided the tie.

He reckons the first was Denis Behan’s unfortunate own goal in the match in Cork and the second was Red Star’s killer goal tonight after just three minutes of the game.

“We felt coming here that we had to keep them at bay for a decent period if we were to have any chance.
