Jonathan Minnock was hero and villain for Harps as Cork forced a replay on Tuesday of this cracking FAI Cup quarter-final.

Left-back Minnock shot Harps in front on 51 minutes from a deflected free kick.

But he then put a penalty wide eight minutes later after Alan Carey pushed Jonathan Speak over in the box.

That proved crucial as City levelled two minutes later when George O'Callaghan headed home skipper Gareth Cronin's free kick.

Billy Woods volleyed against the Harps' crossbar before home keeper Alan Young made a great save from John O'Flynn.

Harps then almost won it in the dying seconds. City keeper Michael Devine tipped over from Kevin McHugh while Speak was just off target.
