Shelbourne 1
Shamrock Rovers 0 (After extra-time)
MEGAN SMYTH-LYNCH emerged as the hero for Shelbourne as she scored a goal in extra-time against Shamrock Rovers to help Shelbourne progress to the semi-finals of the Women’s FAI Cup.
With both sides deadlocked at 0-0 at the end of 90 minutes, extra-time was required to determine a winner after Shelbourne lost their captain Pearl Slattery to a second yellow card in the 70th minute. It was still goalless at the break but last year’s finalists were the ones who broke the deadlock in the 123rd minute.
Smyth-Lynch struck a free which took a deflection off Stephanie Zambra and past Shamrock Rovers goalkeeper Amanda Budden.
That proved to be the winner as Shelbourne take another step towards reaching their fourth FAI Cup final in-a-row.
