Match Coverage: Drogheda United vs Bohemians FC Dublin, Premier Division, 04 March 2024.

In a closely contested match at the Premier Division, Drogheda United managed to claim victory over Bohemians FC Dublin with a final score of 2-1. It's important not to misconstrue this victory as an easy ride, as is clear from an analysis of the range of statistics at hand.

Drogheda United exhibited a combative style of play, as evidenced by the four yellow cards they garnered throughout the match, significantly more than Bohemians' single yellow. Two of these came in rapid progression in the later section of the second half (01:10:50 and 01:13:31). It would suggest that they intensified their efforts to maintain their narrow lead after Bohemians scored their goal.

Despite the risky play, Drogheda's defence remained solid, quite literally keeping Bohemians offside - they were never caught out in this regard, unlike Drogheda who had one offside incident. This perhaps points to a more disciplined defensive line from Drogheda.

When it comes to assertiveness, Drogheda yet again proved to have the edge with a total of 11 corner kicks to Bohemians' 4. The difference in these numbers suggests stronger attacking play by Drogheda.

The pivotal moments, however, came in terms of goals, with Drogheda United scoring one in each half. The first was early on, at just 00:45:13 into the match, providing them with an early edge. Their second goal came at 00:57:41 in the second half, increasing their lead.

Bohemians FC Dublin, on the other hand, managed to score their single goal relatively late into the game, at 01:03:39 into the second half. Whilst that helped narrow down Drogheda's lead, it wasn't enough to surpass them.

Although statistically Drogheda played more aggressively, as seen with their yellow cards and corner kicks, it was their two goals - scored fairly distributed across both halves - that were the most decisive factors in their win. Bohemians FC Dublin, despite fewer disciplinary issues (as seen by their single yellow card), were unable to convert their play into needed goals.

To conclude, this match was a proof of Drogheda United's aggressive and strategic play, managing to secure two goals and hold their defense tight. Despite dealing with numerous yellow cards, they held on to their lead, protecting their turf and ensuring their victory.
