In Ireland, Danté Leverock, the Bermuda captain, was sent off for what appeared to be a headbutt in Sligo Rovers’ 6-2 win at home to Limerick in a FAI Cup tie that included four red cards on Yesterday.
Sligo came from two goals down to beat eight-man Limerick to reach the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time since 2015.
After conceding twice early on, Sligo fought back to cancel out Karl O’Sullivan’s brace, with Romeo Parkes netting twice and Ronan Ronan Coughlan and Regan Donelon both scoring to give the home side a 4-2 lead at the interval.
Both teams were reduced to ten men before the break, with Leverock receiving a straight red and Limerick’s Shaun Kelly picking up a second booking.
