Bohemians had to wait for their breakthrough in a tight contest that remained goalless until just before the hour. Taylor stepped up on 59'49'' and converted the penalty that shifted the match, finally separating the teams after a cagey opening. From there, St Joseph`s FC were chasing the score, but the visitors could not find a reply and the home side protected their lead into the closing stages.
Parsons then settled it with the second goal on 89'48'', turning a narrow advantage into a convincing finish. That late strike gave the final result extra polish and removed any late tension around the score. The stats and the scoreline point to a controlled night for Bohemians: two goals, no concession and a professional closeout on home ground.
For St Joseph`s FC, the summary was harsher. They stayed in the game for long spells and kept the contest alive well into the second half, but once Bohemians took the lead, there was no route back.
