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.
Derry City: Maher, Dummigan (Diallo 78), Connolly (S McEleney 90), Coll, Doherty (Whelan 105); O’Reilly (sent off 45), Patching, McMullan; Kelly (Todd 90), Pat Hoban, Michael Duffy (Mullen 79).
