Duggan puts cap on Cork comeback

Two goals in the final nine minutes saw Cork City come back from two goals down to claim a point against 10-man Derry City in a rip-roaring encounter at Turner’s Cross last night.

The Foyleside outfit looked to be strolling to victory against an out-of-sorts home side thanks to Rory Patterson’s first-half double. But, when Stewart Greacen got sent off on the hour mark for a second bookable offence, the tide changed as Tommy Dunne’s side came roaring back to earn a point.

City boss Dunne made two changes from the side that drew 1-1 against Shamrock Rovers last time out, where Ian Turner came in for the suspended John Dunleavy and Danny Murphy started in place of Tadhg Purcell, which meant a more central role for Daryl Horgan.
