Eight years on from his Dundalk side’s progress in a downpour to the Europa League group stages against BATE Borisov, the heavens opened up once again for another famous win
.
Pat’s goal came from the toe of Romal Palmer, whose brilliant anticipation and movement got him onto the end of a wonderful Jake Mulraney cross. They deserved more than just a one-goal lead and hopefully their failure to add to that won’t cost them in the second-leg. Joe Redmond’s attacking threat in the opposition penalty area came to the fore last night and no doubt he will fancy himself from set-pieces again next week.
That’s what happened when Lennon won the ball in midfield in the 35th minute. Instead of attacking the space in front of him, he moved the ball wide right to Mulraney.Anticipating the near post cross, Palmer raced in ahead of Morocco international defender Soufiane Chakla and stabbed the ball between Imanov and the near post.
Mulraney forced a smart save from the free-kick that followed, while moments later Forrester, after a super turn, fizzed just wide with a left-foot effort from 20 yards.
