Battling St Pat's see UEFA Conference League group stage dream shattered in Istanbul
Briefly

"Stephen Kenny's men battled bravely but second-half goals from Omer Ali Sahiner and Olivier Kemen stole their dream of securing European group stage football for the first time in the club's history."
"The Saints finished the tie with 10 men after Aaron Bolger's straight red card - having only been substituted on four minutes earlier, which left them with a significant disadvantage."
"Sixteen-year-old Mason Melia and Kian Leavy had opportunities to put the visitors ahead before the break, showcasing the potential of young talent on the team."
"Despite their early resilience and creating some chances, the Saints ultimately fell short against Basaksehir, marking an end to their European ambitions this season."
