Sean Maguire penalty miss costs Cork City dearly
Robertson said: “Nobody gave us a hope against Cork City but a solid defensive display earned us a point. Sometimes you have to grind out a win, football wasn’t free flowing but it was the reaction I expected from us after the Bray defeat.”
Cork City came to the north west hoping to close the gap on the league’s front runners but they failed to sparkle on the night. John Caulfield’s side missed a glorious opportunity to take the points when Sean Maguire’s 55th-minute penalty was saved by Micheál Schlingermann. Sligo started well and it took a fine save by Mark McNulty in the visitors’ goal to keep out a Jaanai Gordon effort in the 12th minute.
