CLIFTONVILLE KNOCKED OUT OF INTERTOTO CUP

Cliftonville have been knocked out of this year’s Intertoto Cup after being beaten 3-1 after extra-time in the second leg of their European tie against Moldovian opponents Tilagul Taraspol.

After taking the lead in the 11th minute through Tommy McCallion, the Irish League part-timers were forced onto the back foot before being reduced to ten men after Pat Wall was sent off in the 71st minute.

With the game going into extra time their luck finally ran out when Mickey Collins was sent off for allegedly stamping on an opposing players head.

After that it was all Tilagul, with the equaliser coming on 100 minutes through Serghei Covalcivic. Things got worse for the Reds three minutes later when Juri Priganiuc unleashed an unstoppable free kick from 25 yards out to make the score 2-1. The visitors then wrapped things up when Ivanhenco tucked away a left wing corner with a glancing header to seal the reds fate. (MB)
