Shamrock Rovers came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory at Drogheda United, extending their lead at the top of the table to eleven points over their third-placed opponents.
For the home side, the objective was to maintain their third-place position, which provides a route into the Conference League qualifiers, with St. Patrick's Athletic just a point behind them. Shamrock Rovers aimed to increase their lead at the summit of the league and further solidify their position for Champions League qualification.
Drogheda took an early lead when Cooper found the net just four minutes into the match (1-0). The visitors managed to level the score three minutes before half-time through a goal from Burke (1-1). With sixteen minutes of normal time remaining, Greene scored the decisive goal for the league leaders (1-2).
For Drogheda United, this defeat at home brought an end to their five-match unbeaten streak in the league. Although they hold onto third place for now, it was a missed chance to gain ground on second-placed Bohemians. The team will need to regroup and focus on securing their European spot in the upcoming fixtures.
This result marks Shamrock Rovers' second consecutive win and extends their unbeaten run to ten league matches. The victory strengthens their hold on first place, providing a comfortable cushion. Their focus will now be on maintaining this strong form as they continue their title charge.

Each of the 5 segments spans one-fifth (20%) of the total points held by the team ranked 1st in the league. For each team, the number of matches played appears in green between brackets, and the number of points is displayed in black.
