"Danny Grant had broken the stubborn home resistance as the Leesiders seemed likely to slip closer to relegation in front of 2,726 fans at Turner's Cross. However, in the first added minute, a simple throw-in from Benny Couto found Crowley unmarked, and his thunderbolt deceived Ed McGinty in the Hoops goal. Moments later, the goalscorer almost turned the ball into his own net from a free-kick, but Conor Brann reacted sharply to save."
"From a rapid counter, Josh Honohan was slipped into space down the left flank. The home fans hadn't even time to boo their former player before he put the ball on a plate for Danny Mandroiu in the centre. The attacker fired towards goal, but Rory Feely took the shot square in the face. He didn't know much about it, but his positioning was perfect."
