Drogheda defeat Derry on penalties in FAI Cup
Ten-man Derry City are out of the FAI Cup after being defeated by holders Drogheda United 3-0 on penalties at the Brandywell. The third round tie was a meeting of last year's FAI finalists with Andrew Quinn, who broke the deadlock at the Aviva Stadium, giving Drogheda the lead after just two Candystripes levelled the game in style with just over 15 minutes to go when Michael Duffy's curling effort found the top a dramatic extra time, Derry had a goal chalked off and believed they should have had a penalty before the away side won the tie on penalties after it had finished 1-1 after extra time. Derry suffer early first half blow It was the dream start for the Cup holders, who took the lead after two minutes when Josh Thomas travelled to near the byeline and cut the ball back for Quinn to steer home from close three minutes later, Thomas tried to double the away side's advantage and catch the Derry defence sleeping when he had a go from range, but his effort was narrowly Markey then fired just off target from the edge box before Luke Dennison was called into action to gather Gavin Whyte's shot and deny Derry an the first half progressed, the home side started to settle in to the game and enjoyed more possession with Dennison tipping Dipo Akinyemi's effort from 25-yards over the crossbar and Whyte and Fleming firing first half additional time, defender Mark Connolly blocked Markey's effort, which was heading towards goal. A superb strike from Duffy forces extra time Thomas continued to cause the Candystripes problems after the restart but couldn't find a way past Brian Maher from a tight angle on the left before the hour mark, Tiernan Lynch turned to his bench and brought on Danny Mullen, Ben Doherty, Ronan and Liam BoyceShortly after his introduction, Liam Boyce found Akinyemi in the box, but clever defending from Quinn knocked the ball away from the striker with Boyce unable to steer the rebound into the back of the 64 minutes, Liam Boyce then burst into the box, beat his marker and forced Dennison to make a fingertip save to deny his resulting the other end, Maher made a good save to deny Ryan Brennan's would find a leveller in the 73rd minute when Mullen found Duffy at the edge of the box, who sent a strong effort into the top left-hand the first half of extra time, Tiernan Lynch's side suffered a big blow when Liam Boyce was forced off due to injury with stopper Dennison making good saves to deny Adam O'Reilly, Mullen and Ronan Candystripes continued to dominate extra time after the restart and thought they had grabbed a goal when Connolly headed home from close range, but the effort was disallowed for a foul. Deep into additional time, Ben Doherty was sent off for a second bookable offence after the home side were left agitated by not getting a penalty in the closing seconds when Duffy was brought down in the box by George Cooper. Dennison continued his impressive performance during the shootout as he saved Jamie Scott and Mullen's efforts with Adam Frizzell firing well over and all three of the holders penalty takers, Conor Keeley, Thomas Oluwa and Owen Lambe scoring theirs.
