Bohemians 2 Derry City 1

Bohemians 2 Derry City 1

Bohemians came from behind to book their Cup final place against Dundalk thanks to a late penalty winner from topscorer Glen Crowe.

Despite Bohs running the game up to then, Derry struck for the lead goal on 38 minutes.

Eamonn Doherty and Jamie Hughes worked the ball across goal to Liam Coyle whose cheeky backheel beat Mick Dempsey from just yards out.

But Trevor Molloy hit a stunning equaliser seven minutes after the break when cutting in from the right to beat Russell Payne with a terrific shot.

In a late twist, Crowe was needlessly fouled inside the area by Eddie McCallion six minutes from time and the Bohs goal ace scored from the spot to put the holders through to the final.
