Roberto Lopes' goal enough for Bohemians

Bohemians 1, Shamrock Rovers 0: A first-half goal from Roberto Lopes was the difference at Dalymount Park last night when Bohemians claimed the bragging rights over 10-man Shamrock Rovers in a tense Premier Division clash.

The Gypsies were eager to make amends for their 4-0 defeat to their rivals at the same venue in April, and deservedly took the lead in the 15th-minute.

A corner by Lorcan Fitzgerald was delivered into the path of Lopes, and the centre-half’s bullet header flew past Barry Murphy.
