In a match filled with drama and momentum swings, the Saints held on for a vital three points after a late surge from the visitors. St. Pat's raced into a two-goal lead in the first half with clinical finishing, but Cork City fought back brilliantly after the interval, scoring twice to level the match and set up a grandstand finish. Just as it seemed the points would be shared, St. Pat's found a winner in the 85th minute, sending the home fans into raptures.
