Brandon Miele’s late wonder strike breaks brave Bray’s resistance

Shamrock Rovers 1 Bray Wanderers 0: A terrific late free kick from Brandon Miele gave Shamrock Rovers a laboured, but most welcome, first win in five games.

Defeat was harsh on Bray who frustrated their hosts for most of the game at Tallaght Stadium until the redeeming moment of a dour encounter arrived on 88 minutes.

Midfielder Miele, upended on the edge of the area by Bray defender Niall Cooney, stepped up to blast the resulting direct free kick through the wall to the net.
