In the end, The Hoops had to settle for a well earned draw. But the biggest chance came to Dylan Watts shortly before the end. Rory Gaffney had a huge chance to put the hosts in front but skewed his right-footed shot tamely at the keeper. A long ball found Aaron Greene who rounded the keeper, but just couldn't quite sort his feet out and the moment passed him by. Dylan Watts began to take up some good positions, while Ronan Finn's influence on the game grew. That atmosphere threatened to be dampened early on as Djurgardens of Sweden settled well.

The loud travelling fans howled for a penalty when Haris Radetinac went to ground in the box after a tangle with Lyons, with the referee unmoved and no VAR in operation to offer a reprieve. Now it was Rovers’ tempo that threatened to overwhelm, and Djurgardens reacted on the hour mark with a quadruple sub, beefing up the midfield by introducing Schuller among them. Sabovic was a threat from the edge of the box, and he saw an early shot blocked in the penalty area by Gary O’Neill.

Subs: R Schuller for Eriksson, E Andersson for Bengtsson, H Radetinac for Asoro, and E Banda for Finndell (all 61); A Doumbouya for Wikheim (92). Subs: D Cleary for Hoare (13); J Byrne for Ferizaj, R Gaffney for Green and S Kavanagh for McCann (all 61); N Farrugia for Finn (69). Cleary only had to wait for 13 minutes and an injury to Sean Hoare before coming on but he plugged into a Rovers outfit that was jittery at the back and toothless going forward.

Djurgardens had plenty of the ball but no conviction up front, while Rovers were close again nine minutes from time when Lyons’ header from a Byrne free kick went narrowly over. A good ball from Dylan Watts sent Greene bearing down on goal, he shrugged off his marker Piotr Johansson and rounded the keeper but ran out of space and the ball came back to O’Neill who fired from the edge of the box and won a corner. The only response from Rovers a shot from teenager Justin Ferizaj which was off target. But it was clear from the off that the visitors had a touch of class about them and were not underdogs by any means. In a move started by Andy Lyons, Ronan Finn and Dylan Watts worked well but Djurgardens’ teak-tough defence nipped the danger in the bud. There was a lot at stake with this group a winnable one for all four teams, and the rivalry in the stands made it clear that this was no friendly.
