Cork City captain Dan Murray thinks his side have enough in the engine to beat NEC Nijmegen next Sunday and progress to an Intertoto Cup third round clash with French side FC Nantes Antlantique. The Rebels drew 0-0 away to the Johan Neeskens trained Dutch outfit yesterday, having seen off Malmo FF of Sweden over two legs in the first round.

Murray, who scored twice against Malmo FF in the first leg clash with the Swedes at Turner's Cross, told 103fm: "It’s a great result for Cork City and Irish football but it's just half the job done, and hopefully we can get a victory next week and we’ll be through to the next round."
