UCD 1:2 Treaty United: First Division Match Result

Match report

Tritty United secured a 2-1 victory away to Yusid in the First Division's Regular Season round 26 on Sunday. The result shifted momentum for the visitors, who had not won in their previous three outings. Yusid, sitting second in the table, lost ground on the leaders after extending their unbeaten run to eight games.

Yusid started brighter and kept knocking on the door early on. K. Cantwell picked up a yellow card in the 29th minute for a late challenge. S. Murphy went off the same way shortly before half-time. Then McCullagh struck for Tritty United in the 48th minute, capitalising on a moment of uncertainty in the Yusid defence.

By then Yusid were pushing hard to get back into the game. Curtis equalised in the 66th minute after a sustained period of pressure. And here's the thing — Kavanagh's own goal in the 78th minute ended any hope of a comeback. The visitors saw it out despite a late yellow card for M. Murphy.

Yusid dominated possession at 64 per cent and registered 111 attacks compared to Tritty's 84. Yet only three shots found the target for each side, and the hosts managed just one on goal. Three shots on target and two goals for Tritty United — efficiency over volume decided the match.

The result leaves Yusid on 48 points in second place after 30 games. Tritty United remain ninth with 30 points, but the away win gives them something to build on. Yusid had won that fixture 2-1 just nine days earlier; this time the visitors bottled nothing and took all three points.
