St. Patrick's Athletic and Dundalk FC shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at home, a result that felt like a missed opportunity for the hosts. Dundalk took the lead just before half-time through Daryl Horgan, but St. Pat's fought back early in the second half to level it.
Horgan broke the deadlock in the 36th minute, with the score 0-1. St. Pat's responded after the break when Sean Hoare turned in Aidan Keena's assist in the 57th minute to make it 1-1. The equaliser came after a period of sustained pressure from the home side, who had created several chances.
The stats show St. Pat's dominated the game — they had 53% possession, 17 total shots to Dundalk's 11, and three big chances to Dundalk's one. But they only converted one of those big chances, while Dundalk scored their sole big chance. The hosts will feel they should have taken more from a match they largely controlled.
