Advantage Bohs in Setanta semi

It’s advantage Bohemians in the Setanta Sports Cup semi final after they defeated Linfield 2-1 in the first leg at Dalymount Park.

 

Goals from Ken Oman and Raffaele Cretaro gave the Dubliner’s the advantage ahead of the second leg in Windsor Park. However, the Airtricity League champions had to come from behind after Mark McAllister had put the visitors ahead on 16 minutes.

McAllister headed home Brian McCaul’s cross to send the sizeable visiting supporters wild.
Damien Curran almost doubled the lead for the visitors on 27 minutes but Chris O’Connor did well to turn his free kick around the post.

Oman brought the home side back into the fixture on 43 minutes when he headed home Paul Keegan’s corner kick.

The tie turned in favour of Bohemians on 67 minutes when Marcus Kane was dismissed for a second bookable offence.

However, Bohs fans had to wait until the 87th minute before they were cheering again – Cretaro lobbing the ball over Addis in the Linfield goal to score the decisive goal.

Bohemians: O'Connor; Heary, Shelley, Powell, Oman; Rossiter (Cronin 64), Brennan, Keegan, Greene (Byrne 64); Quigley (Burke 74), Cretaro.

Linfield: Addis; Ervin, Murphy, Burns, Casement; McCaul (Tomelty 77), Kane, Gault, Curran; Miskimmim (Carvill 70), McAllister (Munster 84)
