Super sub Bayly keeps Rovers in the hunt

Shamrock Rovers 1 Bnei Yehuda 1

Substitute Robert Bayly scored a dramatic stoppage time equaliser to keep Shamrock Rovers' Europa League hopes alive as they had to settle for a frustrating draw before a packed Tallaght Stadium.

Rovers started well but conceded on the counterattack on 26 minutes.

Midfielder Assis Baldoud's put Yeghia Yaruyan through on goal and although keeper Alan Mannus got a touch on the ball, it ran into the path of Omri Afrek who slid fired home from close range.

Rovers battled back in the second-half, but the game looked finished until the 91st minute.

Midfielder Bayly's initial shot came back off team-mate Gary Twigg and he rifled the rebound past Yehuda keeper Dele Aiyenugha to see the home crowd into raptures.
