Summary

[edit]

In the 7th minute, Bohemians were awarded a penalty when Jonathan Afolabi was fouled inside the penalty box by Anthony Breslin, Afolabi took the penalty, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way and scoring with a low shot to the right corner.[5] In the 23rd minute Mark Doyle made it 1-1 when he headed the ball into the left corner of the net from six yards out after a free-kick from Jake Mulraney on the right wing.[6] Three minutes into the second half, St Patrick's Athletic took the lead when Krystian Nowak scored an own goal, the ball going into the right corner of the net off his outstretched right foot at the back post after another free-kick from Jake Mulraney on the right.[7] It was 3-1 in the 87th minute when Tommy Lonergan scored, curling the ball into the left of the net from outside the penalty area after he got the ball from a mistake by Bohemians defender Jordan Flores.[8][9]
