Full-time here at the Bowl and it finishes UCD AFC 0-4 Derry City.

3 additional minutes here at the Bowl.

Derry seem happy to let the Students control much of the possession without getting near the goal. Many travelling fans' eyes are glued to events at Tallaght!

Harry O'Connor is introduced in place of Norris. UCD getting more of a foothold on the ball here as the game nears its conclusion.

Goalscorer Patching is then replaced by McLaughlin.

And that's 4! A Patching freekick goes through several bodies with at least one deflection and finds the far post.

More subs! Kinsella-Bishop and Izekor replace Nolan and Keane.

Another double change for Derry as Coll and Ward enter the fray.

Ollie O'Neill won't score an easier goal again in his career and Healy won't want to see that one again. The UCD keeper spills a routine pick up and it's 3-0 Derry.

Double change for Derry as McGonigle and O'Neill replace Cian and Brandon Kavanagh.

Just over from Kavanagh! Excellent play from Boyce down the right flank and UCD are slow to clear giving Kavanagh a chance to shoot but it's too high.

Excellent football from UCD, particularly Higgins earns UCD a freekick on the edge of the D. Keaney blasts the effort over the bar, however,

Ciarán Behan gets the Students\' first yellow of the game.

Another deep freekick causes trouble for Derry as O'Brien almost gets on the end of an excellent delivery.

The game has settled largely back into the same pattern as the first half. Norris and Dignam have switched wings for UCD to shake things up.

First save of the game for Maher as a deep freekick finds a UCD head but the Derry keeper does well to hold on to the ball.

No changes for either side at the break. Events in Tallaght stadium were the talk of the terrace at halftime where Cork City lead the Hoops 2-1. "Rovers are going down!" was overheard chanted near the chipper van!

Alex Nolan gets us back underway for the home side.

Halftime here at the Bowl. McEneff gets the first booking of the game just before the interval

Jordan McEneff doubles Derry\'s lead and his tally for the evening. A well-controlled ball out of defence finds Brandon Kavanagh in plenty of space to turn and play a lovely ball into the path of McEneff. The midfielder beats Healy to it and knocks the ball around the UCD keeper before poking home.

Plenty of fouls are breaking up the rhythm of the game. UCD not offering much going forward as Connolly and McEleney are winning everything in the air,

Maher is finally worked as he is alive to the danger as Higgins attempts to slide in Norris with a neat ball which splits the Derry defence but the Ireland under 21 international is quick to get to the ball first.

It's been a tight turnaround since Friday for both teams and it shows. The game hasn't been played at the highest tempo in the opening half an hour with Derry content to hold possession and maintain their lead.

Excellent Derry build-up down the left flank results in Patching darting for the byline but Keaney makes an excellent low tackle to snuff out any danger.

Plenty of possession but not much else for the Candystripes who look very comfortable in the opening stages.

Derry take the lead and what a strike it is! McEneff feeds Graydon whose shot is well saved by Healy but it falls back to McEneff who curls the ball beautifully into the far corner.

Diallo is getting plenty of space in the middle and finds Boyce on this occasion. His low cross is well-cleared for a corner which comes to nothing.

Patching goes low and the wall does it's job.

Early freekick in a dangerous position for Derry. O'Brien was judged to have committed the foul 25 yards from the goal.

The away side gets us underway!

Early days, of course, but it's top versus bottom this evening. Derry will be full of confidence after beating the current champions while UCD face the daunting task of turning around their fortunes after a thumping 4-0 defeat to Cork City just 3 days ago. Kickoff is fast approaching here!

It\'s been raining most of the day here at Belfield and with a rugby game taking place at the Bowl on Saturday, it makes for a pitch not suited for tika-taka football. Far cry from the 3G pitch at the Brandywell!

Meanwhile, it's 4 changes for the travelling Candystripes. Boyce, McEneff and Cian and Brandon Kavanagh are introduced to replace Coll, McGonigle, McEleney and O'Neill.

Teams are already live here and it's two changes for the home side from their disappointing 4-0 defeat away to Cork City. Daniel Norris and Jessie Dempsey replace Michael Gallagher and Danu Kinsella-Bishop.
