Cliftonville ..... (0)(2)4 ..... Coleraine (0)(2)2
Paddy McLaughlin’s Cliftonville won their sixth Irish League Cup and their first since 2016, after overcoming a two-goal deficit against Coleraine at the National Stadium.
It was a final that, eventually, had everything; bubbling atmosphere, a record crowd, two players stretchered off, as many red cards and seven goals, including a last minute equalizer.
All of the action was crammed into a hectic last 32 minutes plus 30 minutes of extra time. The first two-thirds of regulation time you can forget about. Nothing much happened as the two sides cancelled each other out.
