St Josephs vs Bohemians

St Joseph's and Bohemians played out a goalless draw at the Europa Sports Park, with Bohemians already 2-0 up from the first leg. The game swung early in the second half when the hosts were reduced to ten men. Neither side found the breakthrough needed to shift the tie. Francis Ferrón was shown a straight red card in the 65th minute for violent conduct, leaving St Joseph's with a mountain to climb. Yellow cards flew too, with Álvaro Cascajo, Dawson Devoy, Sam Todd, Marco Rosa, Ross Tierney and Jordan Flores all booked as tempers frayed in the closing stages. For Bohemians, the result completes a smooth passage into the next round, built on Douglas James-Taylor's penalty and Connor Parsons' header in the first leg — a first European progression in five years for the Dubliners. St Joseph's, runners-up domestically once again, exit the competition but can be proud of limiting a fancied Irish side to a stalemate.
