Cork 0-0 Djurgardens

Damien Richardson's Cork side are through in the Uefa Cup

Cork City's 0-0 draw at home to Swedish League leaders Djurgardens clinched their place in the first round proper of the Uefa Cup.

Having scored in the 1-1 first leg in Stockholm, Damien Richardson's side were favourites to progress.

But they had to sweat until the end as Gambian international goalkeeper Dembo Tourray kept them at bay with a number of superb saves.

Cork are now just one match away from the group stages of the competition.

They now have a chance of drawing Barclays Premiership sides Everton or Middlesbrough, as well as Bank of Scotland Premier League side Hibernian.

Cork dominated the return leg to such an extent that keeper Tourray emerged as man of the match.

Tourray denied Neale Fenn (twice), John O'Flynn and George O'Callaghan as Cork did everything but score in an entertaining match.
