Galwegians keep up their hopes of European football with Hickey goal.
SSE Airtricity Premier League Galway United 1 Derry City 0 A SCRAMBLED GOAL FROM Patrick Hickey sealed a famous win for Galway United in their European quest. It will also reverberate in the title race as Shels now have the initiative again.
Will Patching and Sadou Diallo had their best chances but neither pulled a save from Brendan Clarke. At the other end, Jimmy Keohane brought the best from Brian Maher who turned a smart shot around the post. The Candystripes were on top in the third quarter, and this should have translated to the scoreboard. Patching pounced on a loose ball at the edge of the area and curled viciously towards the top corner. The ‘keeper’s acrobatic save surpassed the shot.
With the stakes piled high, Derry pressed from the restart. Within a minute, sub Danny Mullen was turned loose. He had a header from six yards that Clarke saved fantastically.
