Dundalk 2 Finn Harps 0

Stephen Kenny’s side, who take on Dutch side AZ Alkmaar on Thursday, dominated throughout as goals in either half from Patrick McEleney and Daryl Horgan put the Donegal men to the sword.

The result means their lead over second placed Cork City is in double digits, albeit with two matches more played. In a game that was largely one-way traffic, the visitors had goalkeeper Ciaran Gallagher to thank for keeping the scoreline down.
