It was a goal of quality that put the Blues back in the driving seat seven minutes later when Junior Quitirna showed neat control to set Uche into the clear down the right, and he crossed into the centre for Wassim Aouachria, who turned brilliantly onto his right-foot, to blast the ball past Enda Minogue. A third goal for the hosts arrived on 39 minutes when Power showed his class down the left channel to slip the ball into the path of Aouachria, who played the ball back to the penalty spot for Junior Quitirna to finish left-footed past Athlone keeper Vladi Velikin. It came as no real surprise that the second Blues goal that arrived on the half hour mark came from the brilliant Phoenix Patterson – his 17th of the season, as he took a pass from Darragh Power before cutting in from the left, and he found the far corner with an exquisite left-footed finish.
