10-man Derry suffer extra-time European defeat to Magpies

Controversial night ends in disappointment for Candystripes.

Europa Conference League first-round qualifier, second leg

Derry City 2

Magpies 1

(Magpies win 3-2 on aggregate)

DERRY CITY SUFFERED extra-time heartache as they crashed out of Europe at the hands of Magpies from Gibraltar.

A 111th-minute strike from substitute Evan De Haro broke the resolve of the 10-man Candystripes on a controversial night.

Referee Antoine Chiaramonti showed two yellow cards to Adam O’Reilly with the midfielder sent off on the stroke of half time.

Pat Hoban also had a first-half header disallowed by the Andorran official but when Mark Connolly scored on 38 minutes it looked as if Derry were primed to overturn the two-goal deficit from the first-leg.

When Hoban pounced on 57 minutes the tie was level but Derry were unable to get over the line.

With the game looking set for a penalty shootout there was one final twist with De Haro’s strike in extra-time.
