Late goals proved to be the difference as Derry City edged past ten-man Shamrock Rovers and into the FAI Cup final.

As the replay moved towards extra-time, 20-year-old midfielder Michael Duffy scored on 88 minutes before Rory Patterson added another in injury time.

Patterson had missed a penalty earlier  after Shamrock Rovers' Jason McGuinness was sent off for a second yellow card.

The Candystripes now take on St Pats in the FAI Cup final next month.
