Last Sunday, the Irish football team Drogheda United secured their first three points of the season in a tight fight against neighbours Bray Wanderers, which ended in a superb 2-1 Drogheda’s victory. The success achieved by Drogheda at Hunky Dorys Park brought me some extra cash, since I won the bet I placed on Drogheda at Bet365.
Bray broke the deadlock in the 15th minute, with the help of Jason Byrne. After that, a free kick sent by Eric Foley in the 55th minute levelled matters before Ryan Brennan scored the winning goal in the 79th minute.
Kieran ‘Marty’ Waters had the first opportunity of the match as he cut inside Shane Grimes, but Gabriel Sava immediately took advantage of his weak effort. Drogheda responded very quickly, and the neat approach started by David Cassidy led to a perfect opportunity for Ryan Brennan which was parried behind for a corner.
In the 25th minute, Drogheda United were awarded a penalty, after the left wing movement of Gavin Brennan lead to Cassidy being taken down by Gary Dempsey.
Drogheda‘s intense play put amazing pressure on the rival team the whole match, and there was no way Bray could beat them, in spite of continuous efforts. They pushed several players forward in hope of an equaliser and in spite of the five minutes of overtime, the home side didn’t budge for a deserved three points victory.
Result: +7 units, bet won
