Roberto Lopes says Friday night’s derby win over St Patrick’s Athletic was as much like a boxing match as a football match.
The Shamrock Rovers defender won man of the match for a star display in the middle of the Hoops’ back three and played a key role in the winning goal.
It was the Crumlin man who won possession in his own half to kick off the move that saw Danny Mandroiu cross for Rory Gaffney to break the deadlock.
