Full Time: 3-0 to Derry City

Duffy gets the goal he deserves after Patrick McEleney slides him in, his fierce low drive beats Kain Moore and puts a gloss on the scoreline!

Alex Dunne and Brennan are replaced by Aaron Corish and Matthew Scott for UCD

Brennan, who was so bright earlier on, lets his frustration out by petulantly kicking the ball away and goes in the book

Derry winger, Duffy, has been nothing short of brilliant in this second half! UCD look like they've been sucker-punched as we enter the final fifteen minutes

Now its 2-0! Michael Duffy with a stroke of genius as his backheel slips in the overlapping Sadou Diallo and the midfielder tucks in his second goal in a week! Breathing space!

The hosts knocking on the door for a second goal here, Duffy pings a snapshot narrowly wide

Donal Higgins on for Nolan in another UCD substitution

McEleney curls a beauty just wide. Derry's subs have injected some energy

McJannet cannot continue and Ciaran Coll replaces him

Gallagher the first player booked as he hauls back McGonigle by the shirt

Jamie McGonigle, hattrick hero the last time UCD were here, and Ronan Boyce on for Derry. James Akintunde and Brandon Kavanagh depart

Sadou Diallo lashes wide for Derry before Tom Lonergan is introduced for UCD. He replaces Mark Dingham in an attacking change

Michael Duffy is denied by a heroic last-ditch tackle by Michael Gallagher as the Candystripes seek a second goal that would give them some breathing space

Back underway!

Half Time: 1-0 to Derry although UCD have bounced back very strongly from the early concession

Brennan by far and away, the best player on the pitch so far tonight. He pulls out an audacious backheel as the visitors grow in confidence

Maher to the rescue again! Alex Dunne goes on an amazing run into the Derry half, he finds Brennan who curls in a shot from the left hand side. Its beautifully struck and Maher does well to tip it behind. UCD are giving as good as they're getting

Sloppiness from the hosts as Brennan breaks again, he finds Dylan Duffy and his shot from range is straight at Maher

UCD working doggedly here yet Graydon slips in behind Daniel Norris and his fizzing cross is just too quick for James Akintunde to get a decisive touch

Sean Brennan scampers in behind Derry's defence but his shot sails harmlessly high over Brian Maher's goal

Derry lead early on, Ryan Graydon scores tucking in McJannet's cross after a sumptuous flick from Patrick McEleney

Underway!

Mark Connolly and Michael Duffy start for Derry
