Full time at Oriel Park and Derry have come away 3-1 winners. A fantastic away win for the Candystripes who move up to second now due to the St Pat's result. Thank you for joining me tonight.

Penalty for Dundalk in the dying embers as Kelly is fouled. Up steps Hoban and he grabs his side's consolation for the night.

Maher yet again at the rescue for Derry as he pushes away Benson's effort from the edge of the box.

Ruaidhi Higgins into the book for Derry on the sidelines.

Brandon Kavanagh on for Patrick McEleney.

The return of Robbie Benson is upon us as he is on for the final 10 for Dundalk in place of Durrant.

Patching dusts himself off, spots up to the spot and slots the penalty past Sheppard to put his side 3-0 up.

Penalty for Derry! Patching yet again at the heart of it, driving into Dundalk\'s box and Kelly bundles him over and the referee points to the spot.

McEneff on for Todd for Derry.

Alfie Lewis on for Yli-Kokko for Dundalk.

Chances coming thick and fast now as Hoban has a header from a corner cleared off the line by Shane McEleney.

Almost a second for Doherty as his looping half volley just rises over the crossbar.

A hat-trick of chances for Yli-Kokko, this the clearest as a poor Derry header falls to his feet and the Finn hammers the crossbar with a shot.

Maher with a brilliant save from a Yli-Kokko to push it onto the bar and then even better as he pushes it away.

Yli-Kokko fires over from a difficult angle as Dundalk try find a way back into this.

Dundalk hit the post as Kelly gets down the wing and whips a cross to the back post to Hoban and his header comes crashing back off the woodwork!

A goal just before the break and a goal just after for Derry! A cross by McMullan finds Patching who takes a fantastic touch past Brownlie, but his shot is saved by Sheppard, only as far as Ben Doherty who taps home to double the away sides lead!

Second half kicks off here.

Half time at Oriel Park and it is Derry leading at the break. A sloppy game in truth and Patching fantastic bit of play the difference thus far.

Almost two as McEleney blasts over from a cross, Derry in the ascendency going into half time.

1-0 Derry! Its Will Patching against his former club and he creates it himself really, driving forward and laying off to McMullan. Patching continues his run and is found by his teammate, the balls bounces up and may have hit his arm but he then tucks it away into the bottom corner. The Candystripes lead just before the break.

A deep corner from Horgan is met by the head of Muller and yet again Maher is equal to it. The following corner sees Hoban head onto the roof of the net, Dundalk piling on the chances now.

First real opportunity for Derry as a lovely combination between Mullen and McMullen result in the former swiveling and firing over from close range.

Another Dundalk yellow, a silly one this as Leahy drags down Mullen on the half way line.

A well struck half volley by Horgan is fisted up and out by Maher, Dundalk with another decent chance there.

First booking of the game goes to Daryl Horgan for a high challenge on Coll.

First big chance goes to debutant Durrant for the home side. Lovely bit of skill from Horgan as he lets the ball run, leaving the Dundalk winger with a free shot at goal but Maher makes himself big and blocks.

An end to end game in the opening few minutes, both sides with lovely spells of play.

Underway here at Oriel Park.

Dundalk also boosted by the returns of Robbie Benson and John Mountney to their bench.

Three changes for Dundalk with Patrick Hoban among them tonight. As for Derry, they are without the suspended Diallo and in come the likes of Sam Todd and Shane McEleleney.
