Breen strike puts Galway top of the table

Galway United 1 Dundalk 0

Gary Breen hit the winner as relegation favourites Galway made it two wins on the spin to sit pretty atop the Premier Division table.

On a bad night for Dundalk, it began to go wrong on 73 mintues when they had Simon Kelly sent off for a foul on Derek O'Brien.

Breen latched onto Sean Kelly’s flicked from a Jay O’Shea cross to blast home the only goal of the game on 82 minutes as Dundalk slumped to a second defeat.

Galway might have scored earlier, but the woodwork saved Dundalk as Vinny Faherty’s 54th minute header came back off Chris Bennion’s crossbar.
