The game was a resounding victory for Galway United FC who triumphed out 5-1 against UCD AFC in the FAI Cup on 21st August 2023. The Galway side showed an astounding performance scoring 5 goals with no reply until the later stages of the match.

Galway United began the match in an assertive manner with the first goal coming just a bit over 5 minutes into the game. This early dominance continued throughout the first half as Galway United kept raining goals at regular intervals with their second, third, and fourth coming at the 15th, 37th, and 45th-minute mark respectively.

UCD AFC seemed largely out of sorts, earning their first yellow card just past the 23-minute mark indicating a struggle to keep pace with the sheer dominance of the away side. Despite having the home-field advantage, the corner kick tally also hinted at UCD's inability to generate strong offensive plays, with only a single corner kick throughout the match compared to Galway’s 3.

By half time, Galway United was already up by 4 goals, and while the second half did not witness such a flurry of goals, Galway United managed to add one more to their tally at the 68th minute, asserting their dominance even further.

UCD AFC, while showing a glimpse of resurgence, managed to score their only goal at the 85-minute mark, but by then it was too little too late. Further cementing the narrative of their rough day, a second yellow card at the 79-minute mark showcased their desperation and frustration.

Overall, Galway United’s superior shot creation and finishing ability were the standout factors in the game. Coupled with UCD AFC's lack of discipline and inability to create meaningful opportunities, the match was firmly in Galway's control. The scoreline was an accurate reflection of the proceedings with Galway United emerging as the dominant side and UCD AFC left reflecting on their disappointing display.
