Morrissey’s late header puts City in strong position

Cork City 1 Crusaders 0

Tommy Dunne’s outfit were left frustrated for long spells in front of just over 1,000 supporters and a draw would have been disappointing when you consider the holders had half a dozen first-choice players ruled out through suspension.

Overall it was a tepid affair, with few remnants of the exciting play which thrilled the home support a fortnight ago in that comprehensive 4-0 win over Cliftonville on show. But Morrissey, the smallest man on the pitch, climbed highest to head home an Adam Rundle cross at the back post to put the Leesiders in a strong position to progress to the last four.
