The Gypsies were dealt a massive blow after just eight minutes with top scorer Dinny Corcoran being stretchered off with, what looked like a bad ankle injury.
The stretcher had barely been down the tunnel when it was required again. Conor Levingston’s ball over the top caused all sorts of confusion and Dante Leverock and Ed McGinty come together with a sickening clash.
The game took a few minutes to come to life following the lengthy breaks in play but it was the hosts who looked more comfortable in possession as the unbeaten in six Sligo Rovers went more direct to Romeo Parkes.
Neither side created much in the way of clearcut chances but both Danny Mandroiu and Conor Levingston stung the palms of Ed McGinty from distance as the hosts looked to reinvigorate the crowd.
The half time break seemed to help both sides regroup and refocus. It was the visitors who broke the deadlock after just three minutes with a well worked move. David Cawley played a beautiful slide rule pass to Romeo Parkes down the inside right channel and the Jamaican striker slotted into the far post.
Bohs responded almost immediately as the impressive Conor Levingston hammered home a thuNderous left footed effort from just out side the area. Bohs Influential skipper saw red somewhat harshly.
As the ball was switched over to the left wing, Derek Pender seemed to be following the ball all the way, but caught Lewis Banks who got his body in front. Despite going down to 10 men, the home side continued to use the ball well and looked the more likely to score.
Corner after corner bombarded the Sligo Rovers goal but Keith Long’s troops just failed to get the final touch or stopped from last ditch defending. Right on the 90th minute, and against the run of play, Rovers broke from a Bohs corner.
Coughlan switched the play as Romeo Parkes burst from midfield. The front man controlled well, twisting and turning in the area before finally smashing past the helpless Talbot in a complete smash and grab.
