Drogheda United have advanced to the second round of the Irish Daily Mail FAI Cup after they defeated 10-man Shamrock Rovers 1-0 at United Park.
Drogheda were awarded a penalty midway through the first-half as William Hondermarck was fouled by Lee Grace.
The Rovers defender was dismissed as Chris Lyons stepped up to send Alan Mannus the wrong way. Stephen Bradley's side enjoyed all the possession after the break but they failed to create clearcut chances with Drogheda looking the more likely to score.
Despite four minutes of additional time, the Boynesiders hung on for a famous win as Rovers' wait for an FAI Cup goes on.
