Cork City drilled for penalty pressure

This is Cork City’s 23rd two-legged European tie, with only two of the previous 22 having finished level on aggregate.

In 1993, against Cwmbran Town of Wales and 2005 against Sweden’s Djurgårdens, the Rebel Army prevailed on the away-goals rule. While only a 1-1 draw tonight would necessitate a penalty shootout, John Caulfield has ensured that City will be ready should they be required.

While he didn’t go into too much detail, he revealed that the team use a method in training which aims to replicate the kind of pressure which would be present in the real thing.
