Finn Harps sealed an Extra.ie FAI Cup Quarter-Final spot thanks to a 2-0 win over Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds. 

Alexander Kogler scored a first-half brace to seal the victory as Paul Keegan was sent off for the home side in the second-half. 

It only took Harps 12 minutes to take the lead as Kogler headed home a long throw despite Brian Maher's best efforts in the Wanderers net. 

On the half-hour, Kogler got his second of the game as the Austrian forward headed home Aidan Delap's cross to seal the win. 

Keegan saw red five minutes after the break for his tackle on Mark Russell to diminish hopes of a second-half revival. Harps failed to add to the scoreline against the ten-men but will be in the hat for the quarter-final stage.
