Forrester kept calm to set himself up to finish well after fellow substitute Conor Carty's initial effort had been saved following a ball through by Brandon Kavanagh. Zach Elbouzedi dribbled at speed from his own half and was cynically pulled down by Mashchenko although there was enough cover nearby for it not to warrant more than a yellow card despite it A dislocation was later confirmed with his shoulder popped back in but it is understood that the 27-year-old is facing a prolonged spell on the sidelines and will miss tonight's clash.

‘It's not inevitable' – Stephen Kenny warns St Pat's to ‘prepare for all eventualities' in Conference League clash
STEPHEN KENNY is looking for his side to take control this evening to avoid getting a kick in the Baltics. Whilst Kenny said: 'We can't assume anything. It's not inevitable, that just because Kalju are at home that they will play that way. 'We must prepare for all eventualities and we must try and establish some control on the game ourselves. 'Rather than looking for counter-attacks on the word go, we must look to establish some kind of control and try to score the first goal.' Read More on Stephen Kenny That is exactly what happened in the last round in nearby running out 3-0 winners on aggregate against Hegelmann. And there is no doubt that Mason Melia's early goal in the away game left St Pat's in the driving seat . Kenny said: 'That early goal was a great help to us for sure but this is a different game completely, we're not relating to two games. 'We've got to be very determined and be ready to fight until the end here to get the result that we need.' Most read in Football He was coy on whether he would have anyone at the game between Shakhtar Donetsk and Besiktas in Istanbul with the losers of that tie St Pat's opponents in the next round, assuming they progress. He said: 'From our point of view, we always do our preparation regardless. One thing we're not doing ourselves is looking beyond this game. It would be foolish to do so. I think this game itself will be hard-fought.

'To win in Estonia won't be easy but the players are playing well now in the last couple of weeks and really starting to take control of the games in a good way, although we need to convert more of our chances.' St Pat's do know that if they can extend their run of consecutive clean sheets to a club record seven then they will be through. And Kenny - traditionally an attack-minded coach - insisted that record was not just down to keeper Joseph Anang and his defence He said: 'I suppose it's not been last-ditch defending. It's probably our ability to gain more control now in games because we've slightly changed the way we play. 'We're getting more control and that has probably taken a lot of pressure off our back four. I think that's certainly helped us but we need to do it in the most difficult games. 'That's what we need to show, we're not dwelling on that and we need to go fight hard in the European Conference League away from home and show our qualities.' St Pat's remain without Romal Palmer and Sean Hoare, and Zack Elbouzedi who dislocated his shoulder in the first leg. 1 St Patrick's Athletic manager Stephen Kenny after the UEFA Conference League Second Qualifying Round first leg match against Nomme Kalju FC Credit: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile

Tom Grivosti out to make St Patrick's Athletic history with clean sheet record and Euro progress on the line
TOM GRIVOSTI is hoping to rewrite the history books tomorrow night after ensuring it was a possibility last week. 2 St Pat's hold a narrow lead over Nomme Kalju in the Conference League 2 Tom Grivosti of St Patrick's Athletic is hoping for another shut out and club history The visitors did not offer much at Richmond Park with Grivosti getting his body in the way to ensure their one genuine chance, which fell to Krijstan Kask, did not result in a goal. If they can shut out the Estonians in the return leg they will not only progress to the third qualifying round of the Conference League, where As a defender Grivosti, is pleased with how He said: 'It's brilliant. Last year in Europe we had good clean sheets but we were known for how many goals we were scoring. read more on football "Now to equal the club record for clean sheets is an added bonus. "If we can do it again on Thursday it will be a great achievement for the whole squad, everyone in the squad played a part in that over the six games.' On his timely intervention in Inchicore, he said: 'We restricted them to a few chances and probably that was the main chance that they had in the game, a second phase off a corner, a little knockdown. 'So yeah, it was a good block, it's what I'm there to do.' Most read in Football The Scouser was a target for champions Shelbourne in the off-season but opted to sign a new contract. Fresh competition arrived in the form of Seán Hoare from Shamrock Rovers and the pair have almost been involved in a job share with club captain Joe Redmond in defence. Mike Maignan shows off his goalkeeping skills at AC Milan training Redmond has started all 25 league games with Hoare and Grivosti each making 12 starts and coming on in a further three. But the ex-Bolton Wanderers and Ross County centre-back — who started all six games in Europe last season as well as the three to date this term — has no regrets about his decision. He said: 'I was obviously out of contract at the end of the season, so there were obviously a few bits, but I love it at Pat's. I kind of knew I wanted to stay here. "When you're wanting to challenge, you're going to need the squad. 'I've played a lot of football this year and I feel like I'm playing well now and hopefully keep that going for the rest of the season. 'When you get your place in the team, you know there's lads chomping at the bit trying to get in, so you just keep trying to play well and keep your place in the team.' Although St Pat's were defensively solid against Kalju, they did struggle to break them down with the only goal arriving in stoppage time from Chris Forrester — despite their opponents being down to nine men for the last 20 minutes. But the 26-year-old is expecting an improved display from them second time around. DIFFERENT TEST He said: 'I'm expecting a different game. 'They probably felt like they didn't play well. We watched them and they do look like a good team. 'We know — we've been in this position before where we've won the home leg and we have to go away — that you're going to be under pressure. 'The teams normally start quite quickly when they're at home and stuff like that, so we're expecting them to have a good go. 'But we've got fast players so that if teams do come on to us, we can play counter-attacking football and stuff like that.'
