Dundalk ran out 2-0 winners over Sporting Fingal to progress to the quarter finals of the EA Sports Cup. A goal in each half from Ciaran McGuigan and Fahrudin Kudozovic saw them home but the scoreline possible flattered them a little.
Both teams showed changes from their previous outing and the Dundalk line up was further disrupted on 20 minutes as Johnny Breen had to be withdrawn. By that time Gaynor had missed a one on one with Brendan Clarke as he placed his shot against the keeper’s legs.
Ciaran McGuigan opened the scoring on 24 minutes when a Ross Gaynor cross was deflected en route and spilled by Brendan Clarke for a corner. Gaynor swung over a flat hard cross to the centre where McGuigan had lost his marker, possibly with the help of a push and although he didn’t make a clean contact it was enough to send the ball to the back of the net from six yards.
To be fair to Sporting they kept probing at the Dundalk backline and Shane McFaul and Alan Kirby were showing up well for them. Chances were spurned by Conan Byrne and Colm James and they would have felt that something was still within their reach in the second half.
Sporting opened brightly in the second period and chances came and went for Glen Crowe and James before Dundalk extended their lead on 59 minutes.
A lovely move brought the Lilywhites joy from Faz Kudozovic. Alan Cawley found room to send Tiarnan Mulvenna scampering away down the right side, his cross to Fenn was laid into the path of Faz who coolly found the far corner of the net from 12 yards.
There was no shortage of effort from the visitors as they tried to get on the scoresheet but ultimately it all proved in vain. Next up Dundalk face Galway at Oriel on Friday and Sporting will host league leaders St Pats.
