Baker's corner is cleared... and eventually its a throw to Glentoran. Nixon is robbed by Crowe, who breaks in, cleared by Walker, Houlihan's shot is again blocked by Chris Walker and the whistle is blown for a free-out to Glentoran. Half Time whistle goes, Shelbourne 2-1 Glentoran.
Crowe hits a shot first time, straight into the top corner! 3-1 on the night, 5-2 on aggregate. Surely Shelbourne are through now.
Full time, Shelbourne are through! 4-1 on the night, 6-2 on aggregage. They now host Steaua Bucharest at Tolka Park on Wednesday.
While Glens were, in all hoensty, awful you can only beat what's on front of you and you cant argue with 6-2. They outplayed Glens over both legs and if we can keep a clean sheet next week anythings possible. It's all about not giving up the away goals advantage, the form of our attacking players we can get goals, so if, and it's a big ask, we keep Steau scoreless on wednesday we're in with a chance. They're a step above even Hajduk Split though, so they're favourites, but we've caused our fair share of upsets before. Co-efficent wise we're at 100% and have already equalled last years record with four matches to come minimum, and you'd imagine at least another four as Cork and Longford should progress at least one round. Impressive so far.
If we keep a clean sheet we are in like flint. But Steau have a set of decent strikers. So long as the back is covered we should be ok. There's no shame going through on aggregate 1-0. Best of luck to Shells.
