Shamrock Rovers outclass Bohemians in front of record League of Ireland crowd

Rovers snatched a two-nil lead early in the second half as the champions snuffed out any hint of a classic before this record 10,094

Slowly but surely, the game outflanked an occasion that recorded the most people inside a League of Ireland ground for 33 years. Rovers had the better chances in the first half with Pico Lopes heading straight at Chorazka on the half hour before the excellent Burns drew a save from the Pole. The second goal came four minutes later, this time Paddy Kirk appeared to be exposed by Burns’ movement and a classy spin by Burke.

The Aviva stadium felt like a fast food restaurant supported by international games during this week’s Belgium and Switzerland friendlies. Tallaght felt like a proper football ground last night, supported by plenty of food and beverage options.
