Eircom League: UCD equalise in last minute

Cork City 2 UCD 2

An injury time Eoin Bennis goal helped UCD climb out of the bottom two by the slenderest of margins.

College had the perfect start when Derek Swan slotted home a penalty after Derek Coughlan pulled down Bennis inside the area after just 15 minutes.

The lead lasted just a minute, though, as James Mullligan headed Cork level from a John Caulfield cross.

Substitute Pat Morley then thought he had won it for Euro-chasing City when putting them in front on 90 minutes.

But Bennis hit back to earn UCD a precious point and lift them above Finn Harps on goals scored.
