Match report
Yukon defeated Finn Harps 5:4 in the First Division regular season on Thursday evening, a match that saw seven goals in the second half and neither side willing to settle for a point. The hosts moved closer to the summit while the visitors' relegation battle grew tighter.
C. Akinrintayo opened the scoring in the 20th minute before S. Bradley doubled the lead just before half-time. Finn Harps pulled one back through O. Brogan shortly after the interval, setting up what would become an open contest.
L. Cailloce restored Yukon's advantage in the 52nd minute, and here's the thing — the match then pivoted entirely. L. Dignam scored twice for Finn Harps in quick succession, while G. McAteer and M. Hutchison also found the net for their respective sides.
By then the visitors had already made changes, bringing on S. Mohan and A. McLaughlin in the 58th and 59th minutes. They were chasing the game and played accordingly, though the shape they adopted left them exposed at times.
Yukon dominated possession at 72 per cent and registered 102 attacks compared with 74, while Finn Harps managed only one corner to eight for the hosts. The statistics tell a familiar story — many chances, but not all were clinical.
The result leaves Yukon second on 47 points from 29 matches, while Finn Harps remain 10th on 22 points after five wins and seven draws. The visitors' recent form has been difficult, with four clean defeats in their last five outings before this one.
