Result: Saints 1 - Kalju 0

St Patrick's Athletic left it late to break down nine-man Nomme Kalju in their UEFA Conference League second qualifying round first leg at Richmond Park.

Chris Forrester netted shortly after his introduction on 90 minutes as Conor Carty's shot was parried by goalkeeper Maksim Pavlov, and Forrester danced around him before finishing coolly.

It looked set to be a night of frustration for the Saints as they were repelled despite Kalju losing Rommi Siht and Danyl Mashchenko to red cards within five second half minutes.

The dam eventually in the final minute of normal time as the deeply cynical Estonians' defensive gameplan was finally undone.
