Result: Saints 2 - Galway 0
Saint Patrick's Athletic are top of the League of Ireland Premier Division table, despite finishing with ten men as they took care of a gutsy Galway side by the Camac.
Saints had fortune by their side throughout, with Moses Dyer missing a massive chance for United shortly before Kian Leavy and Zack Elbouzedi netted within six minutes of each other to put Stephen Kenny's men two up at the break.
Axel Sjöberg saw red midway through a second half understandably dominated by Galway, with Moses unable to continue his superb recent run of goals, missing several half-chances, but United will be encouraged by the character they again showed - albeit in vain - on a balmy evening in Dublin.
United were comfortably ahead in XG terms but gave away two sloppy goals and, all told, they will wonder how they did not score.
Pat's still give the impression they have yet to get going this season, but that adds to the satisfaction of topping the standings at this stage.
