Dundalk 3, Bohemians 0
Oriel Park, Dundalk
For Stephen Kenny and company looking good and still unbeaten at home with his Lilywhites is another highlight in this week in the League of Ireland. With a 3-0, rout over a troubled Bohemians.
So far, in the campaign the Town Boys tied in points in second place with newcomer and recently promoted Waterford FC.
Still Dundalk has a lead over the Blues with a win early in the campaign and trailing by one point over the first place and defending champions Cork City winning today. Within reach and the possibilities of catapulting to the top anytime.
Being with the label of undefeated at home and seeing a notable presence of its followers in every match, Stephen Kenny and company provide the rest with a display of a one of a kind football and netting important wins at Oriel Park.
As this win and netting a clean sheet for eight consecutive matches in succession and despite the likes of Gary Rogers coming off in the 6 minute surrendering to a calf injury, the likes of Gabriel Sava preserve the blank sheet for the win.
With an early foul to the Town newcomer Kristian Andorjan in the 24 minute, he got foul inside the area in a play provoked by the visiting Gypsies defender Dan Casey to set the play that delivered the first goal of the match.
For Patrick Hoban beating the visitor’s goalkeeper Shane Supple, the whole of Oriel Park went into frenzy, twelve minutes passed by when another play performed by the locals converted into the match second goal by Sean Gannon in the 32 minute.
As Jamie McGrath setting the play and going behind the visitors feeble defense it’s when Gannon came in the clutch and delivered the second goal of the half and sending the match into halftime with a commanding two-goal lead.
The return of activities in the second half saw once again the complete dominance of the locals in a match dominated from start to finish in its entirety and not allowing many liberties to the visitors and despite a near scare in the ninety minute.
However, despite the locals having the match in their pockets and at time seen as an easy win, the visiting Bohs put their defense in heightened alert. As the start of the second half with just twenty seconds of its start, the Lilywhites had a close one with a long range shoot done by Keith Ward just shaving the posts.
In addition, other plays were Stephen Fooley the local’s defender saving the day and Sava in the 89, another close one with Dinny Corcoran attempt blocked heroically by the Town midfield Chris Shields.
Still the night was not over for the Dundalk Bunch with Michael Duffy on injury time scoring the third goal of the evening and assuring the points and seeing how the local Lilywhites raising to the occasion and ending their scoring drought for good.
