SLIGO’S UNBEATEN START to the Airtricity League season was brought to an end at Richmond Park last night with a 2-0 win for the home side – and Killian Brennan’s 89th-minute ‘Panenka’ penalty was cool as you like.
Having gone ahead thanks to a Conan Byrne opener on 21 minutes, the Saints, playing the final four minutes plus added time with an extra man after Iarfhlaith Davoren was shown a straight red card, were award a late spot-kick.
Referee Neil Doyle deemed Evan McMillan’s challenge on John Russell illegal and Brennan looked the most composed man in the ground as he deceived Gary Rogers with a cheeky chip down the middle of the goal.
