Drogheda United – Sligo Rovers

Drogheda United secured a comfortable 2‑0 win at home over Sligu Rovers, extending their lead in the league to ninth place with 31 points from 30 matches. The victory lifted Drogheda’s goal difference to –13 after improving their tally to 35 scored and 48 conceded, while Sligo remained stuck in tenth with just 23 points and a -27 margin. The result also tipped the head‑to‑head balance this season in Drogheda’s favour, having now won two of the three meetings between the sides. With Sligo’s 23 points leaving them well adrift of the playoff spots, the defeat further dimmed any hopes of climbing the table before the season’s final stretch.
