Match Report
Bit O’Red Prevail With Ease Over Bohemians
The weather played a significant role as 10 man Sligo Rovers ran out comfortable winners over Bohemians at the Showgrounds.
First half goals from Kailin Barlow and Max Mata saw the Bit O’ Red go in at half time with a two nil lead while halftime substitute Radosavljevic on scored on 57 to claim all three points. Jonathan Afolabi got a consolation goal three minutes from time.
The host were by far the better side in the first half as Barlows energy caused problems for the Bohemians defence with clever runs with and without the ball.
The breakthrough came for the breakout star in the 34th minute when Matas square ball finds Barlow as he put the ball through kirks legs and put the ball in off the back post.
Sligo continued to press for a second which came in the 42nd minute as Talbot dropped Barlows cross into the path of Mata who puts the ball in with his knee.
A host of changes at half time didn’t bear fruit for the away side as Sligo went further ahead through substitute Radosavljevic on 57.
The game turned on its head in the 64th minute when the Bit O’ Red were reduced to 10 men as Barlow received his second yellow of the night.
Bohs lifted their efforts with the extra man however the Rovers defended really well not allowing the visitors to threaten McNicholas in the Sligo goal with Niall Morahan thwarting efforts on multiple occasions.
The visitors pulled one back perhaps a little too late as Afolabi hit the back of the net from the edge of the box in the 87th minute.
Bohs piled on the pressure in the final few minutes but to John Russells delight his side held on for a much needed and deserved three points.
Next up for Sligo is a trip North to Derry City while Declan Devines Bohemians is a leinster senior cup game on Monday against Shels before they host Dundalk fresh from their two-nil demolition of league leaders Shamrock Rovers.
