\nSpartak 2 , Greenhills\/Greenpark 3<\/p>\n
A somnolent start to this game saw Spartak lack both pace and intensity and quickly go two down; both goals had a touch of offside to them however the second was quite preventable if the Sky Blues had closed down rather than spent precious time appealing.<\/p>\n
The visitors were handing out punishment which was leniently dealt with by the ref; and Spartak allowed themselves to be outmuscled.<\/p>\n
Ross Kelly had a score chalked off for offside which looked a great deal more legitimate than the visitors two; and Ross also just failed to guide his shot on target after getting past the keeper from Steve Walsh\u2019s pass.<\/p>\n
Spartak reduced arrears just before the break when Shane McInerney bundled in Conor Maguire\u2019s attempted cross shot. <\/p>\n
The second half saw a big improvement with Greenhills restricted to breaks. On a rare break they scored at the near post on 65 minutes to restore their lead after Ross Kelly\u2019s scrambled equaliser on 48 minutes.<\/p>\n
The home side then had more of the play and some great chances were missed; Colum O\u2019Sullivan looked certain to head home from very close in from Niall Hanratty\u2019s corner; Conor Maguire fired over, while Ross spooned over after a neat square ball from Martin Costello.<\/p>\n
Conor Maguire, subjected to rough treatment throughout without much protection finally lost his composure; the first time he was lucky to escape a red card, but on the second occasion he had to go.<\/p>\n
A soft start and two goals conceded left the Sky Blues with just too much to do, despite a dominant second half performance.<\/p>\n
