Match

Summary

Dundalk opened the scoring in the 19th minute when Seán Hoare headed powerfully to the net from six yards out after a corner from the left by Michael Duffy.[4] Two minutes later Cork were awarded a penalty when Hoare clumsily fouled Karl Sheppard from behind in the penalty area. Kieran Sadlier scored the penalty shooting to the right which went under the goalkeeper to make it 1-1.[5] Patrick McEleney got the winning goal for Dundalk in the 73rd minute when he connected with a cross form the right from Sean Gannon to head into the net from seven yards out.[6] With this win, Dundalk completed the double of league and cup for the fourth time. It was also their 11th FAI Cup win.[7][8][9]
