Cork blow lead against Candystripes

Derry City 1 Cork City 1

Pat Dolan's Cork City had Colin T O’Brien sent off and then blew their lead to concede a 90th minute penalty.

Midfielder O’Brien was red-carded by Dublin referee Paul Tuite for dissent on 80 minutes, seven minutes after Cork had taken the lead when Kevin Doyle lofted the ball over Patrick Jennings from Brendan Sweeney’s cross.

But there was further drama to come as Cork midfielder George O’Callaghan handled inside the area right on 90 minutes and Michael Holt held his nerve to draw Derry level from the spot.
