FULL TIME: The three points go Derry's way and deservedly so!

EXTRA TIME: Into five added minutes, Pats' have been really poor tonight

More changes made as Derry are comfortably seeing out an excellent second half performance, this will boost confidence before Rovers' visit here on Monday evening!

A poor showing from Mulraney as he is taken off. Ciaran Coll on for the hosts with Duffy departing

GOAL- As I say that, Doherty delivers his best set-piece of the night and Whelan drifts between lacklustre markers to thunder a header home and endear himself to the Brandywell crowd!

Derry racking up the corners as they look to get a second and seal victory. Pats' offering nothing in attack

Double change for St Pats' with Adam Murphy and Tommy Lonergan on for Timmermans and Mark Doyle

GOAL- Doherty lashes it in, Derry ahead!

PENALTY TO DERRY CITY- Lewis scythes down Graydon

A hard fall forces Sadou Diallo from the fray, Jordan McEneff, scorer against Pats' earlier this season, comes on

Colm Whelan makes his home Derry debut, replacing Kavanagh up front

Doherty the second player booked for tripping Mulraney as he threatened to speed away, looked like minimal contact

Sjoberg booked for fouling Duffy, the Swede will have to be careful if the winger runs at him in this half now

SHOT: Rasping drive by Graydon skims the crossbar after Kavanagh did well to bring the winger into the attack, Derry getting on top

CHANCE: McJannet prods high after a wonderful free-kick delivery from Duffy, that had Lyness panicking!

SECOND HALF: Back underway!

HALF TIME: Plenty of effort and half-chances but the sides go in goalless at the break, 0-0

CHANCE: brilliant from Doherty who surges upfield, past a disinterested Jake Mulraney, plays a one-two with Duffy, gives it back to the winger who drives a zinger diagonally across Lyness' goalface

Doyle now threatens whipping a cross across the box but no navy shirted player is able to get to it

The visitors are getting no joy with attacks mainly because forward Eoin Doyle has been repeatedly caught offside all half, frustration for Tim Clancy

SAVE: Lyness comes to the rescue twice for Tim Clancy's side- he first denies Doherty from close range after O'Neill teed him up. In the same play, Duffy curled a dangerous right-footer in on goal which Lyness acrobatically tipped behind

Scrappy spell with the visitors enjoying some sustained possession but a lack of goalmouth action so far

CHANCE: Doherty's corner is headed back across by captain Cameron McJannet but Duffy's header lacks power and is easy for Pats' keeper, Dean Lyness

POST: The hosts almost ahead! Intricate play between Duffy and Ben Doherty earns room for Ollie O'Neill to shoot inside the box and he hits the inside of the post!

CHANCE: First corner brings the first chance as Noah Lewis heads just high for St Pats'!

Early collision between Ryan Graydon and Sam Curtis after a loose pass from Sjoberg. Both players back up as the sides edge into the game

Derry dangerman Michael Duffy has started brightly this evening, taking on Sjoberg but the defender does well to block for a throw-in

KICK OFF: Away we go!

TEAM NEWS: Cian Kavanagh starts at striker for Derry whilst St Pats' to Swedish full back Carl Axel Sjoberg and also bring in Mark Doyle and Thijs Timmermans from last week's 0-2 loss to Rovers
