Match Summary

Before the biggest attendance at a cup final since 1968, 36,101, both teams cancelled each other out over 120 minutes leaving the final to be decided by spot kicks for the second time in three years. Eoin Doyle converted the first Sligo penalty in the shoot-out but the next five penalties were all missed. Gary McCabe made it 2-0 with Sligo's fourth only for Paddy Kavanagh to have his attempt saved by Sligo keeper Ciaran Kelly. Kelly saved all four Shamrock Rovers spot-kicks in the penalty shoot-out. Shamrock Rovers had finished the game with ten men, through the dismissal of Stephen Bradley ten minutes from the finish of extra time for a second yellow card, while Sligo's Joseph Ndo was named man of the match.
