Galway United

John Caulfield's men consolidated their lead at the top, while Kerry FC remain without a win.

However, a second-half brace from Jack Doherty ensured the points were shared. Ben Feeney’s brace and a goal from Cole Omorehiomwan saw the Seagulls over the line, with Aaron Dobbs and Ethan Boyle on target for their opponents. The win consolidates Galway’s lead at the top of the table and continues their 100% record, having won six out of six matches so far.

[analysis](https://totalfootballanalysis.com/team-analysis/ajax-202223-their-tactics-under-john-heitinga-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics) and team-focused scout report, we hope we’ve provided some valuable insight into one of the best pressing teams in Ireland this year. We see an example of this just inside their own half in figure 9, where Stephen Walsh has sprinted back to apply pressure on the ball carrier from behind. After taking the ball back, Walsh laid it off to a midfield teammate beside him while Ibrahim Keita began his run in behind. They like to target a specific player in their team and space they’d like to invade before launching a long ball into that space. Galway have been successful at creating goalscoring opportunities via their pressing, so it’s been a valuable tool at both ends of the pitch in one way or another. To analyse the way in which Galway press, we’ll start with this example versus Finn Harps from figures 3-4. The centre-backs were happy to step out, they read the flight of the ball well and launched it back upfield towards a teammate. The top two images show examples of aerial duels resulting from the opposition being forced into landing a long ball on top of Galway’s defence in the hope it causes trouble. We’ll analyse key parts of Galway’s defensive strategy and [tactics](https://totalfootballanalysis.com/head-coach-analysis/damien-duff-shelbourne-2022-tactical-analysis-tactics) to determine why it’s been such an important part of their impressive start to the season both in front of the opposition’s goal and their own goal. This is something the defenders did very well in these two examples below as the opposition received and tried to play through Galway. Figure 1 shows how high Galway’s average defensive line is, where their typical defensive territory is and where they’ve engaged in defensive actions so far this term. John Caulfield’s men have started the campaign in dominant fashion, winning all of their opening five games, the highlight being a 9-1 trouncing of League of Ireland newcomers Kerry.
