RUAIDHRI Higgins has challenged his players to put Derry City Football Club 'back on the map' of European football and clinch a 'special result' ahead of Thursday afternoon's Europa Conference League second round, second leg tie against KuPS in Finland. (K.o. 5pm Irish time).
Francis was initially cautioned by Maae, however, VAR replays adjudged that the former Right to Dream player had launched a risky attack on the Cameroonian defender.
Unbeaten in their last two games in all competitions, Sonderjyske welcomed the Tigers to the Sydbank Park in Haderslev.
The fixture got off to a flying start with both teams creating numerous scoring opportunities. However, they were unable to find the net thanks to the brilliance of goalkeepers Lawrence Thomas and Peter Jensen.
Nevertheless, it was the visiting side who took the initiative on the stroke of half-time courtesy of Oliver Villadsen who slotted the ball past goalkeeper Lawrence.
