Cork City braced for Hacken barrage

Concentration is Cork City manager John Caulfield’s priority ahead of his side’s meeting with Sweden’s BK Hacken in Gothenburg tonight (6pm).

Caulfield knows his side must be mentally tuned in to have a chance of bringing the Swedes back to Turner’s Cross with hopes of progression still alive.

The Leesiders carry the underdog tag into a meeting with last year’s Swedish Cup champions, having squeaked past Linfield last week. And while City boss Caulfield has faith in his side’s technical abilities, he knows they must be quick out of the blocks at the Bravida Arena.
