Daryl Horgan’s first goal of 2024 was enough for the Lilywhites at Oriel Park.
DUNDALK OPENED UP a three-point gap on Drogheda United at the bottom of the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division table after beating Sligo Rovers 1-0 at Oriel Park.
On the half-hour mark came their first meaningful effort when Paul Doyle got away from Ellis Chapman on the right before his low cross was turned just wide by Zak Bradshaw. That corner, taken by Daryl Horgan on the right on 39 minutes, was headed off the crossbar by Muller in what was possibly the best chance of a relatively uneventful first half at Oriel.
Daly’s side went in search of a second to make the points safe after that, with O’Kane’s curler straight at Ed McGinty, while Paul Doyle’s volley was deflected just wide.
