Bray Wanderers secured a significant 2-0 victory over league leaders Dundalk in the SSE Airtricity First Division, closing the gap to the top to six points. The match, held at the Carlisle Grounds in front of a season-high crowd of 1,712, saw Bray's goalkeeper Jimmy Corcoran deliver an outstanding performance, making crucial saves to keep Dundalk at bay. Max Murphy scored his seventh penalty of the season, and substitute Danu Kinsella Bishop added a late goal in injury time to seal the win. Dundalk dominated possession and created multiple scoring chances but were wasteful in front of goal, with Corcoran's heroics preventing a comeback. Meanwhile, Cobh Ramblers lost 2-1 to Treaty United, and UCD defeated Finn Harps 3-1, maintaining the competitive nature of the league. Bray's victory marks their first over Dundalk since 2017 and reignites the title race as Dundalk's lead diminishes.
