17. Shamrock Rovers 2 (Burke 14,Lopes 78) Ilves 2 (Ala-Myllymaki 10 pen, Veteli 62) Shamrock Rovers win 12-11 on penalties. SHAMROCK ROVERS WERE left frustrated as they were held to a 0-0 draw against St Patrick’s Athletic at Richmond Park this evening. Shamrock Rovers players celebrate with Joey O’Brien after he scored the winning penalty in the Europa League first qualifying round against Ilves Tampere at Tallagh Stadium.
But he swiftly transferred the ball to his left foot and curled it just inside the angle of Mika Hilander’s crossbar and right-hand post.He thought he should have had a penalty on 20 minutes when Eero Tamminen appeared to catch Burke with a wild lunge inside the area.He nearly exacted some revenge seconds later when he curled an effort onto the top of the crossbar.That Rovers was angered by the non-award of the penalty was an understatement - Burke got the booking he wondered was he due soon afterwards for kicking the ball away.But they were also getting frustrated by more than just the refereeing; Ilves and their own performance could do it as well.The visitors were well-able to upset the Hoops and did so while creating some half-chances while the home side had plenty of possession but lacked the final ball.And it all cost them on 62 minutes when Ilves swept down the right flank and fed the ball back to Joona Veteli on the edge of the area to steer the ball home.Rovers were in trouble, but they soon rallied and an equaliser arrived on 78 minutes when Roberto Lopes darted across the near post to flick a left-wing Jack Byrne corner home.But Liam Scales was sent off ten minutes later for a second yellow card. Shamrock Rovers II scored 1.2 goals and conceded 2.0 in average.
