Dundalk played out a scoreless draw with Riga FC in their Champions League first qualifying round first leg at Oriel Park last night.
The Lilywhites had chances in the first half, with man of the match Sean Hoare going closest, but the positive is that they didn’t concede an away goal ahead of next week's second leg in Latvia.

All over on a tense night here at Oriel Park. Dundalk pushed hard for a winner in the second half, but Riga held firm. Scoreless at the half-way point in the tie, as we head to Riga next Wednesday.#DUNRIG #UCL #CmonTheTown pic.twitter.com/aQBp9PDbSq— Dundalk FC (@DundalkFC) July 10, 2019
