Chris Forrester with late winner as St Pat's Athletic edge nine-man Nõmme Kalju in Conference League
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. The home support were in fine voice long before kick off - though they had to in order to be heard above a PA soundtrack that could be heard from space - and maintained that despite their frustrations. And their patience - and that of goalkeeper Joe Anang - who also got to relax and watch a game of football - was rewarded when the erratic Pavlov failed to hold onto Carty's effort. The Russian goalkeeper had two hairy moments early on, first tipping a Jay McClelland cross over and almost fumbling Simon Power's centre into his own net. That was to be the majority of the first-half entertainment bar Pavlov tipping away a shot by sub Jake Mulraney, on after Zack Elbouzedi was cynically hacked down and had to depart with an arm injury. Mulraney again went close as Pavlov spilled a corner and the ball was cleared to the edge of the box, but it fell onto the roof of the net. The tide appeared to turn as Siht made a mess of a Saints breakaway and received a second yellow card for hacking down Barry Baggley. Power hit the side netting from 20 yards before Kalju's woes were compounded when Mashchenko cynically chopped down Mulraney as he ran in on goal. The visitors changed their initial plan of 11 men behind the ball to nine men behind the ball - or on the ground - but the Athletic's diligence eventually paid off as Forrester capitalised. They had further chances in injury time as subs Aidan Keena and Mulraney both drove narrowly wide but they will travel to Tallinn next Thursday with the most slender of leads. St. Patrick's Athletic: Joe Anang; Tom Grivosti, Jay McClelland, Ryan McLaughlin (Aidan Keena 71), Joseph Redmond; Barry Baggley, Zack Elbouzedi (Jake Mulraney 24), Kian Leavy (Brandon Kavanagh 78), Jamie Lennon (Christopher Forrester 78), Simon Power; Mason Melia (Conor Carty 78). Nomme Kalju : Maksim Pavlov; Danyil Mashchenko, Maksim Podholjuzin (Uku Kõrre 45), Modou Tambedou, Daniil Tarassenkov; Kristjan Kask, Oleksandr Musolitin (Aleksandr Nikolajev 46), Ivans Patrikejevs (Sander Alex Liit 78), Rommi Siht; Nikita Ivanov (Guilherme Henriques da Silva Carvalho 62), Mattias Männilaan.

St Pat's leave it late to beat nine-man Kalju in Inchicore

The performance didn't need to be a thing of beauty, once St Pat's got the when Kalju pair Rommi Siht and Danyl Mashchenko walked in the 64th and 68th minutes, St Pat's knew they had no more excuses for making hard work of it needed the 79th minute introduction of Brandon Kavanagh, Conor Carty and Forrester to settle slipped a ball in behind nine-man Kalju's badly stretched defence for Carty and he drew a save from Maksim Pavlow, only for Forrester tucked home the he showed fancy footwork in doing so Park has been a happy hunting ground for the Saints in European competition, winning 13 of their last 23 games here, and they started like the meant men dominated the ball throughout the first half and had their Estonian opponents on the back foot until yet the visitors were more than happy with how the game was panning out at that all their possession, Saints struggled to work Russian goalkeeper Pavlov enough. And that was frustrating considering how shaky he looked under high Pavlov did redeem himself somewhat when getting his body behind a Jay McClelland drive and then thwarting Jake Mulraney at full stretch when the St Pat's winger cut in from the right and unleashed a thumping wasn't long on the pitch at that point, having replaced Zack Elbouzedi midway through the half when the latter suffered a nasty wrist injury after landing awkwardly under a had picked the ball up on his own half and went on a brilliant run at pace down the middle of the a knife through butter, he sliced through poor challenges and held opponents at bay until Mashchenko brought him Ukrainian - later sent off - was booked for the foul just outside the area and St Pat's players quickly signalled to the bench that Elbouzedi was in a bad walked off holding his wrist, with pain etched across his Pat's supporters had been enjoying the early entertainment, but the longer Kalju were holding on, the more frustrated those fans Power's shot from the edge of the area lacked, well, power, and fell kindly at Pavlov's then clipped a ball into Power in the box but Modou Tambedou pinched it off his toes before the winger could had a bit more about them in the second-half, and grew in confidence after watching St Pat's make such hard work of Mattias Mannilaan may well have opened the scoring were it not for an important Tom Grivosti even though Saints were huffing and puffing - 'we're too f*****g nice' was one of the shouts from the crowd - their willingness to keep pushing never once the Kalju pair saw red, St Pat's had clarity of immediately introduced striker Aidan Kenna for fullback Ryan McLaughlin in the hope of driving home that advantage, with the sub joining Mason Melia in Melia fluffed the host's best chance of the game, volleying a deep Grivosti cross wide from close range before Keena smashed a shot from six yards at kept going abegging thereafter, but Saints stalwart Forrester was the difference maker when it mattered in the final throes. As he came into the game, a supporter in the main stand roared at Forrester 'you can change this game' - and he did just that with a precious lead goal in the tie.
