Derry City held by Galway United at Brandywell
Derry City had to come from behind to earn a 1-1 draw with Galway United in the Premier Division at Brandywell. David Hurley gave Galway the lead on 10 minutes from the penalty spot before Kevin Holt equalised for the home side less than 10 minutes later. Tiernan Lynch's side are now four games without a win and 11 points behind leaders Shamrock Rovers. Despite drawing Derry move up to fifth position in the table, one point ahead of champions Shelbourne managed by Damian Duff who they travel to Tolka Park to face next Friday night. Galway United are now unbeaten in their last three and sit seventh in the table ahead of a home game against Stephen Kenny's St Patrick's Athletic next weekend. The visitors were awarded a penalty after 10 minutes with referee Declan Toland adjudging that a Derry defender had pulled a Galway attacker back in the box. Hurley stepped up and sat Brian Maher down before rolling the ball down the middle to give the Tribesmen an unlikely lead. The Candystripes would reply less than 10 minutes later in rather fortuitous fashion. Michael Duffy's cross from the right found Gavin Whyte who first had his effort blocked before the Galway defenders attempted clearance cannoned back off Derry defender Holt and it ended up in the back of the net. Danny Mullen twice came close for the home side before the break with Sam Todd heading over a Duffy free-kick late in the half. Neither side looked like winning the game in a second half devoid of any real chances or quality in the final third.

Goodwin feels this has been "the most difficult season" in terms of injuries to key players but believes he will have "enough quality available to get the job done" on Saturday. Emmanuel Adegboyega and Lewis Fiorini have a chance of being available but Craig Sibbald and Ross Graham will both miss players such as Declan Gallagher and Kevin Holt set to play their final game for United on Saturday, Goodwin wants them to leave with their "heads held high" and "hopefully off the back of achieving European football".
