Glentoran's penalty shoot-out win
Glentoran have waited 7 years to win a penalty shoot-out at the Oval....but we finally did it again last night.
The last time was back on 7th July 2011 when we defeated Macedonian side, FK Renova on penalties in a Europa League qualifying game.
Aaron Hogg was the goalkeeping hero that night, Elliott Morris having been red carded in the away leg when we lost 2-1 in Skopje.
Glentoran won the return game 2-1 thanks to a couple of spectacular goals from Richard Clarke and Martin Murray.
