Extratime.com had Simon O'Gorman reporting and Gerry Shanahan with his camera at Athlone Town Stadium on Friday night. Simon described the game in his match report below as "the most extraordinary cup tie I have ever seen".

Red cards, late goals, extra-time, an equaliser from Glen McCauley from inside his own half to take it to penalties and finally Waterford progressed from the spot kicks - quite the FAI Cup tie indeed.
