Sligo Rovers were knocked out the Extra.ie FAI Cup on Sunday night after losing 2-1 at home to first division Wexford after extra-time.
Aidan Keena gave Rovers a second-half lead from the penalty spot but former Rovers striker Dinny Corcoran equalised for the visitors a short time later.
Both teams had chances in extra-time before a rare error from Rovers Keeper McNicholas saw him spill the ball into the his net.
Wexford score and it's a horrible goal for the hosts to concede - could that be the winner? 👀@sligorovers 1-2 @WexfordFC

The same player made an excellent save minutes later to deny Wexford a third goal - and in a frantic finish, Rovers may have felt they had claims for a second penalty - but John Russell's side were unable to find a second goal and so make their cup exit.
