 Paul Leeman and Ollie Cahill challenge for the ball |
A 48th minute goal by Aidan O'Keefe saw Drogheda United beat Glentoran 1-0 in Monday night's Setanta Sports Cup Group One match at the Oval. O'Keefe scored with a neat finish past Glens goalkeeper Michael Dougherty.
Richie Baker had two early chances for the visitors and at the other end striker Gary Hamilton had a shot well saved by Dan Connor.
Gary Browne provided the cross for Jason Hill to fire in a first time shot but Connor was again equal to the task.
The Glens created little in the second half and their chances of semi-final qualification now appear to be over.
