Match report
Kerry beat Trinity United 3:1 at home in the First Division on Thursday evening, extending their run of results that had seen them drop points in their last two outings. S. McGrath opened the scoring just before the interval with a goal in the 45th minute, and R. Manning made it two from the resulting corner in the 65th minute. R. Perez pulled one back for the visitors in the 68th minute, but D. Nwankwo's red card in the 72nd minute changed the complexion of the match entirely.
And here's the thing — Trinity United were reduced to ten men with twenty minutes still to play, and Kerry went on to add a third through N. Brookwell in the 77th minute. The visitors had been competitive enough to earn a goal, but the dismissal meant they could only watch from the sidelines as the hosts ran away with the result. By then, Trinity United had already lost their shape and their ability to respond.
Kerry dominated the statistics, registering 105 attacks to the visitors' 79 and holding 58 per cent possession. They shot eight times on target compared to Trinity United's five, and while the away side managed six corners to Kerry's three, the extra man made all the difference in the final third. Trinity United ended with one red card and three yellow cards, while Kerry kept their disciplinary record cleaner with just one caution and no dismissals.
The result leaves Kerry six points clear of Trinity United in the table, with the home side on 39 points from 29 games and the visitors on 30. Kerry had been inconsistent recently, drawing with ЮКД and losing to Слайго Роверс and Корк before winning their last two, while Trinity United's form has been similarly patchy with only two wins in their last five matches. This was a match decided by moments — a goal before the break, a red card in the second half, and the ability to take what was on offer.
