The FAI have rejected Cork City's appeal for wrongful dismissal following Cian Coleman's red card against Dundalk on Friday night.

The City captain was shown a straight red card for his challenge in injury time of the Leesiders' 2-1 loss to the Lilywhites, with the goals coming either side of referee Damien MacGraith's decision.
