O’Sullivan and Gaynor on target for unwavering City

Sligo Rovers 0 Cork City 2

Second-half goals by Mark O’Sullivan and substitute Ross Gaynor fired John Caulfields side to within four points of the Lilywhites in a game controlled by the visitors for most of the 90 minutes.

City broke the deadlock on the hour when O’Sullivan drilled past Reds keeper Richard Brush from a free kick just outside the box. However, the Leesiders had to withstand considerable pressure from their hosts before 56th minute substitute Gaynor made the game safe two minutes from time.
