With an extra man, Derry City make it 5-1 on 88 minutes – Ciarán Coll scoring after an assist from Paul McMullan.
A night to forget for Drogheda United.
Super-sub Power changes the game

The second-half substitute, high on confidence after his first goal, runs at the Shamrock Rovers defence and finds the bottom corner with his strike.
Penalty miss at Tolka
Aidan Fitzmaurice has the news:

They're awarded a penalty after sub Maurice Nugent is felled in the box by 'keeper Conor Kearns, but the spot-kick from fellow sub Lomboto was unconvincing – Kearns guesses correctly and makes the save.
