Coleraine booked their place in the sixth round of the Irish Cup with a comfortable 4-0 win over 10-man Crusaders at the Showgrounds.
Brendan Hamilton was sent off early in the second half and Mark Connolly opened the scoring from that free-kick.
Will Patching and James Akintunde scored twice in quick succession and Joel Cooper added a fourth for the Bannsiders.
The home side started brightly but it was visitors Crusaders who had the best chance in the opening quarter.
Dylan Boyle’s errant back pass put team-mate Connolly in trouble, Crusaders forward Elliott Dunlop on to the loose ball in a flash.
He strode forward before unleashing a low shot which recalled Coleraine keeper Ryan Schofield did well to save at his near post.
At the other end Cooper threatened on a couple of occasions while Patching’s free-kick was comfortably dealt with by Crusaders goalkeeper Musa Dibaga.
And Patching was denied again moments later as Dibaga leapt to his left to palm the ball away after great play from Matthew Shevlin down the left.
Coleraine broke the deadlock two minutes after the restart thanks to former Derry City captain Connolly’s first goal for the club following the dismissal of Hamilton.
The Crusaders defender, booked in the first half for a foul on Zane Okoro, received a second yellow for a similar offence.
Ben Wylie swung a cross over from the resulting free-kick and there was Connolly at the back post to thunder a header past Dibaga high into the roof of the net from close range.
The home side doubled their lead just after the hour mark when Patching showed great awareness to curl home a delightful free-kick from the edge of the penalty area, completely deceiving the Crusaders keeper.
Akintunde rifled home at the second attempt after the visitors defence had failed to clear their lines to make it 3-0 two minutes later before Cooper raced clear of the Crusaders defence to poke the ball low past the Crusaders keeper 11 minutes from the end.
The remaining 15 fifth round ties take place on Saturday.
