MARK DOYLE salvaged St Patrick’s Athletic’s European hopes with a crucial late strike, as the Saints fell to a narrow defeat at the hands of F91 Dudelange last night.
Goals in either half from Oege-Sietse Van Lingen (inset) and Yahcuroo Roemer looked enough to sink the Saints.
However, Doyle popped up in the box in the 93rd minute to snatch a scarcely deserved lifeline.
The last minute goal sparked wild celebrations among the 350 boisterous Pats fans, who travelled through London and Brussels to take over this small leafy suburb just north of the French border.
They can still harbour hopes of more European trips this year – if Pats can muster a win next Thursday in Inchicore with progression guaranteeing €550,000 in Uefa prize money.
