Derry City, Galway United Draw in League of Ireland Clash

Derry City extended their winless streak to four games after a 1-1 draw with Galway United at the Brandywell Stadium. Galway took an early lead with a penalty by David Hurley, but Kevin Holt leveled the score with a fortunate deflection less than ten minutes later. Despite numerous chances in the first half, particularly from Derry's Gavin Whyte and Danny Mullen, neither side was able to secure a winning goal, as the second half lacked clear opportunities and quality play. The draw leaves Derry City in fifth place, 11 points behind league leaders Shamrock Rovers, while Galway United remain unbeaten in three matches and sit seventh. The match highlighted Derry's defensive struggles against Galway's aerial threats, particularly from long throw-ins. Upcoming fixtures include Derry facing champions Shelbourne, with hopes to improve their league standing.
