VINE: Horror challenge on Robbie Benson earns red card but UCD can’t avail of man advantage

No eyes on the ball

Darragh Murphy

There are clear red cards and then there’s this.

Nicolás Gorosito was rightly given his marching orders after leaving the ground, going over the ball and connecting with UCD’s Robbie Benson in Thursday evening’s Europa League qualification game.

But Collie O’Neill’s men couldn’t capitalise on the man advantage as they succumbed to an 84th minute goal from Adam Zrelak.

The pressure will be on the Students for the return leg next Thursday and here’s hoping there will be no tackles like this on display.
