Sligo Rovers - 2 Dublin City - 0: First-half goals by Fahrudan Kudozovic and Gary Curran earned Sligo Rovers the points in a poor game at the Showgrounds.

Mark Rooney had a couple of second-half chances for Dublin City, but generally the visitors lacked ideas up front.

The home side were dealt a cruel blow in the 11th minute when Paul McTiernan was stretchered off with an ankle injury.

Sligo went ahead on 21 minutes when Kudozovic drilled the ball past Gary Rogers from an Adam Hughes cross. Curran got the second in the 35th minute.
