FK Riga 1 Bohemians 0:  Bohemians return from Latvia trailing by a goal to nil after defeat to FK Riga in their Intertoto Cup second round first leg match this afternoon.

The eircom Premier Division league leaders were beaten by a goal from Valerijs Leonovs a minute before half time and will have to overturn the deficit in Dublin if they want to face Hiberninan in the third round.

Pat Fenlon's men had their chances with Glen Crowe, Kilian Brennan and Neale Fenn all wasting opportunities in front of goal.

Bohs rode their luck in the second half and had Brian Murphy to thank for a couple of good saves.

The few Bohs fans present, however, will have seen enough to believe their side can overturn the scoreline at Dalymount.
