Derry City 1 – 2 Waterford FC
Waterford FC defeated Derry City in the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium last night. They won 2-1 the same scoreline that gave the Blues a victory there back in August 2018.
Waterford took the lead on the half-hour mark when Shane Griffin cracked home a wonderful free-kick from 20 yards. The hosts equalised on the blow of half-time when Cameron McJannett touched home a Will Patching free-kick from the left side of the penalty area.
The Blues went back in front five minutes into the second half. The Derry goalkeeper Nathan Gartside took down James Waite inside the box.
Derry City suffered their second successive loss in the SSE Airtricity Premier Division after they were defeated 2-1 by Waterford on Saturday evening.
Shane Griffin gave the visitors the lead after 30 minutes before Cameron McJannett equalised for the Candystripes on the stroke of half time.
Oscar Brennan had Waterford ahead again on 51 minutes when he scored off a rebound from his missed penalty.
Brennan s night then ended abruptly when he was sent off with 10 minutes to go but his side held on to earn their first points of the season and leave Declan Devines side bottom of the table.
