Bohemians and Galway United played to a draw in a League of Ireland match, preventing Bohemians from closing the gap on league leaders Shamrock Rovers. Galway United earned a valuable point thanks to a strong defensive performance and a late equalizer.
Why it matters
The result impacts the standings in the Irish domestic football league, affecting both the title race and the relegation battle.
Bohemians failed to close the gap on leaders Shamrock Rovers having been held at home to a spirited Galway United who had man-of-the-match Hugo Pires da Cunha to thank for earning a point.
Colm Whelan's 10th of the season from the spot had Bohs in front before Aaron Bolger’s powerful volley before the half meant both sides were forced to share the spoils.
Having overcome Ballkani in the most dramatic of circumstances on Thursday night it was back to domestic action with a bang for Alan Reynold’s charges as they played their first league game in 30 days.
With just one win in five over the hosts, Galway looked to rectify that run early on as Bolger got on the end of a neatly worked set-piece but failed to hit the target with his left footed volley.
