Munster turned in a steely defensive display to win away at Glasgow Warriors and set up a United Rugby Championship semi-final away to Leinster.
Having withstood a whirlwind start from the hosts, Malakai Fekitoa and Antoine Frisch touched down either side of Tom Jordan's red card for a foolish high shot on Connor Murray.
Depleted Glasgow met with more ferocious resistance after the interval before Kyle Steyn broke through, but a late yellow card for Sione Tuipulotu snuffed out home hopes.
It is a first home loss for Warriors since reigning European champions, La Rochelle, beat them in January 2022.
But Munster, who lost five players to head knocks in a brutal contest, are unbeaten on the road in the URC in six months.
