Half-time: Waterford 2-1 Derry City

Goal Derry! Lafferty scores after meeting an Akintunde cross at the back post.

Junior Quitirna robs a Derry defender then quickly releases a shot. It's straight at Nathan Gartside.

The Candystripes play has been very pedestrian and predictable, they're dictating the tempo of the game with their possession, and that tempo is painfully slow.

Finally a fast passing move from the visitors. They get the ball down the left and into the box. Paul Martin claims at the second attempt.

Due to the injury and the ball going out of play a number of times, the pace has really died in these early stages. That'll suit the blues down to the ground.
