But in football, a game lasts until the final whistle. After being 2-0 down, Drogheda United turned things around with two goals scored within ten minutes apart, creating an intense closing stage for the match.

Meanwhile, Drogheda United might need to focus more on their planning and execution of set-pieces, as their dominance in corner kicks did not transfer to the scoring points.
