LOI Round up: Shamrock Rovers search for first win continues after late goal denies them victory

breakingnews.ie

Defending champions Shamrock Rovers are still searching for their first win of the season after a dramatic 2-2 draw against St Patrick's Athletic.

Richie Towell opened the scoring at the Tallaght Stadium in the 20th minute, but St Patrick's Athletic equalised in the 42nd minute when Eoin Doyle converted from the penalty spot.

Jack Byrne capped off a top performance with a goal in the 54th minute, and it looked like for long periods of the game that was enough to secure victory, with Stephen Bradley's side having several chances to seal the game.

However, it was another game that saw victory slip through their hands as an 88th minute goal Jake Mulraney rescued a needed point for St Patrick's Athletic.
