First Division

A first victory in Bray over Longford Town in ten years, and the action condensed into the final ten minutes.

An own goal, a substitution, two yellow cards and two further goals from play would probably make any additional highlights redundant.

And yet, for a considerable time it looked like a match that was destined to end in a draw.
