Monaghan 0-15 Kildare 1-10
A morbid fear of defeat hovered in the air for many a suffocating game that was finely balanced everywhere; but when Monaghan decided that the pursuit of a victory was more appealing than falling into the abyss, their smarter use of possession – and an avoidance of mistakes – allowed them to spread of a tired Kildare when he was importing.
Monaghan's players adapted better under the conditions, with greater certainty and greater ability to hold the bar of soap that embodied a football. All too often, for whatever reason, Kildare players have failed to hold the ball while being guilty of bad decisions. Maybe a tough match after the other caught up with them, both mentally and physically.
Monaghan won the match when he had to win. The art of scoring had seemed to be an alien concept for the attackers for much of the second period when neither side seemed able to take control of the debates. In fact, on the five points of the second half of Monaghan, only one of Conor McManus was scored by an attacker.
Indeed, defenders Karl O'Connell and Kieran Duffy scored decisive points. Midfielder Niall Kearns spared no effort to finally lead Monaghan in the right direction with the game at the tip of the knife. As if to emphasize that it was a victory built from the back, the last goal goal was given by Monaghan goalkeeper, Rory Beggan, who scored 47 depth meters in the additional time.
Kildare was not lucky. They did. But a return of only 44% (compared to a team average of nearly 70% during the championship) clearly showed that it was a day of no return with the kickers, while the bad catch decision Discharge to players who are racing or are better positioned.
Daniel Flynn must have felt like he was invisible to his men. Although isolated on the edge of the square most of the time, he has nevertheless made many darts in the space to be neglected. And it was not as if his comrades did not know what he could do: in the sixth minute, Flynn beat Ryan Wylie and ignored Darren Hughes' attempt to shoot. Beyond Beggan for what would be the only goal.
On another occasion, in the 16th minute, Flynn again cleared his marks, but his thundering effort was beautifully saved – knocked over by Beggan over the bar for a damage limit point instead of # 1. 39, a goal
. Owen Duffy was deprived of a black card for a Neil Flynn leg trip in the 17th minute, led by two points at the break – 0-10 to 1-5 – but his main threat of attack came from Frequent visits from behind O & # 39; Connell where it has turned out to be a real threat. Aside from his mazy, fast races, he also showed a keen eye to score. His two long-range points in the first half were added by another in the second when his initial shot was saved by Mark Donnellan but he then showed the speed of the thought by bouncing over bar. was that Monaghan was marginally more efficient in taking their chances. Outside of a period of 90 seconds after Flynn's goal, Monaghan never followed. They led by two points at half-time, suffered and suffered for much of the second period, but shot through when that was most important at the final whistle. "19659003" Nice to pbad, it was a very difficult day. ", Admitted Malachy O. Rourke, director of Monaghan." Look, there are things we'd like to put away. We spit a little bit of ball and we were not clinical enough, but the boys showed a lot of character, and we deserved the victory. "
