Bohemians will need to overcome a first-leg deficit if they are to continue
their European adventure.

A goal just before half-time gave Latvian side FK Riga the edge in today's
Intertoto Cup second-round first leg match - played in front of a sparse crowd
in Liepaja, around 200 miles from the country's capital.

In the first half, former Wolves striker Glen Crowe had Bohs' best chance,
shooting wide after 25 minutes - but the eircom League side lost midfielder
Jason Byrne to a hamstring injury soon after.

Brian Murphy made two good saves after the break as Riga finished strongest -
but Pat Fenlon's team will believe they can overhaul the deficit in Saturday's
return at Dalymount Park.
