While a red wave may not have materialised in the US Midterm elections last week, a red tsunami engulfed the Aviva Stadium as Derry City beat Shelbourne by four goals to nil to clinch a sixth FAI Cup title in their history.
Both sides brought with them thousands of supporters and each and every single one was desperate for success. The sea of colour before kick-off was a sight to behold, as both sets of fans brought the pyrotechnics to create a cracking atmosphere.
Once the game started however, it was Derry that withstood the heat of the occasion. Within a minute, Jamie McGonigle had almost stole in for a simple goal.
