After Aiden O’Brien put the hosts ahead in extra-time in Tolka Park, Jimmy Keohane struck a 113th minute equaliser to ensure spot kicks would be required to determine who reached the quarter-finals.

Shelbourne landed all theirs but despite goals for David Buckley, Jimmy Keohane and Brendan Clarke, the one miss for Garry Buckley proved costly.

Afterwards, Galway United manager John Caulfield gave his thoughts to Galway Bay FM’s Jonathan Higgins.

Galway Bay FM’s match commentary team were Jonathan Higgins and Colin Hawkins.
