The hosts’ first victory in 11 league games came against their fierce rivals.
Having scored his first Bohemians goal against them in the 1-1 draw back in May, Filip Piszczek further endeared himself to the Gypsy faithful when heading a late winner to down arch-rivals Shamrock Rovers in a riveting Dublin derby on a Sunday morning at Dalymount Park.
It marked the most welcome of wins for Bohemians in every respect, their first in the league in 11 games. In a frenetic first half of end-to-end action on the uneven surface, Bohemians Kacper Chorazka was the first goalkeeper to be worked when turning a Marc McNulty shot clumsily around a post.The well-positioned Leigh Kavanagh first cleared off the line from McNulty following Graham Burke’s long throw before Danny Grant tracked back to get a block to McNulty’s shot after he had worked a neat one-two with Neil Farrugia.
The winger found himself in a pocket of space to surge forward and strike a low drive that bobbled several times before finding the bottom corner of the net. The frame of Pohls’ goal then rescued Rovers, the lively Rooney’s shot coming back of a post after skipper Adam McDonnell and James Clarke did well to quarry the opening.
