Unsavoury incident at Richmond Park held up game for some five minutes
An 85th-minute penalty from captain Jordan Flores gave Bohemians all three points from this Dublin derby before a sell-out 5,013 attendance at Richmond Park.
The game was held up for some five minutes by referee Rob Hennessy, allowing Byrne to have his arm bandaged, while the goalmouth was cleared of the debris. Bohemians were busy on Thursday’s transfer deadline day, Declan Devine signing four defenders, prompted in the main by key centre-back Rob Cornwall suffering an ACL tear in the first half of last week’s 2-2 draw with Sligo Rovers at Dalymount Park.Flores slotted back into central defence, where he finished last week, while Brian McManus and Dylan Connolly came in from the start.
Having survived that early scare, Bohemians played their way into the game to enjoy a spell of the ball. And Chorazka showed good footwork to keep the home side out on 25 minutes following an incisive move from the back. Bohemians relieved the pressure momentarily, Paddy Kirk getting forward to warm the hands of Pitaluga.
