Photograph: Bryan Keane/InphoBrandon Kavanagh scored a dramatic last-gasp penalty winner as St Patrick’s Athletic twice came from behind to end Sligo Rovers’ four-match winning run in highly controversial circumstances at Richmond Park.
The former Ireland manager made four changes from St Pat’s big night in Liechtenstein on Thursday when progressing through to the third round of the Conference League against FC Vaduz. Chief among them was the prodigal Keena who came in for his debut against the club he left as the league’s top scorer two years ago.
Hennessy ignored Sligo’s contention that the foul was outside the area to point to the spot. Keena blasted his penalty to the net in sending Ed McGinty the wrong way. The Mullingar man’s last penalty in the League of Ireland before a move to Cheltenham Town two seasons ago had been a winner for Sligo against St Pat’s at the Showgrounds.
