AN 88TH MINUTE own goal earned Shamrock Rovers a late point at The Showgrounds, just six minutes after Sligo Rovers took the lead.
Walter Figueira’s speculative shot somehow went under the Hoops goalkeeper Alan Mannus on 82 minutes to give the hosts the lead.
But, the Bit O’Red were under pressure to defend their lead in the dying minutes, and were undone when Rory Gaffney’s ball was sent into the home net by defender John Mahon.
