Galway United and Waterford FC played out a goalless stalemate in a Premier Division contest that was short on goals but long on cards. Seven yellow cards were shown across the 90 minutes, reflecting a scrappy, physical encounter at Eamonn Deacy Park.
Neither side could find the net despite combining for 29 total shots, with Galway holding a 17-12 advantage and creating the game's only big chance, which they missed. The first half saw three bookings in an 11-minute spell as the match became fractured, and the tempo never recovered enough for either attack to click.
The home side dominated possession with 53% and had more shots, but both goalkeepers made two saves each, keeping the score level. Waterford will feel they left with a point despite being outshot, and Galway's failure to convert their chances cost them the win.
