Stunner from Ross Gaynor the catalyst for Cork City to seal semi-final spot

Cork City 3 Derry City 0: A Ross Gaynor thunderbolt was the highlight as Cork City set up an FAI Cup semi-final clash with Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds after three late goals settled this quarter-final replay at a wet Turner’s Cross last night.

The home side were completely out of sorts for the first 74 minutes and it looked like the game could be heading for extra-time until Liam Miller jinked his way past two defenders on the right side before crossing low and when the cross was only half cleared by Derry, there was Gaynor to unleash an unstoppable volley from 30 yards which flew past Gerard Doherty in the Derry goal.

It was a goal worthy of winning any game.
