Sligo Rovers 1-1 Galway United
Bragging rights were shared as Colin Fortune’s second half goal earned Galway a share of the spoils against Sligo Rovers at the Showgrounds.
Sligo took the lead with a fine individual goal from Sean Flannery when he fired home from distance.
Galway pressed to get back into the match and Eric Lavine failed to make the most of a chance from the edge of the box. The visitors’ chances improved shortly afterwards when Sligo lost Paul McTiernan after the striker received a straight red card.
However, Galway lost that advantage 12 minutes into the second half as Nigel Keady was red carded.
The equalising goal came shortly afterwards when Fortune finished to the net to earn the visitors a share of the points.
