Derry City and Dundalk played out a 1-1 draw in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division at the Ryan McBride Brandywell this evening.
Derry trailed at the break thanks to a headed effort from John Mountney at the mid-point of the first half.
Daniel Mullen equalised for the home side just after the hour-mark but City couldn’t push on to get the winner which would have seen them go level on points with league-leaders Shelbourne.
It’s a missed opportunity for Ruaidhri Higgins’ side as they would have wanted to put pressure on Shels, who now sit two points clear with two games-in-hand on the Candy Stripes in second spot.
Damien Duff’s team play in-form Sligo Rovers at the Showgrounds tomorrow evening.
In the only other Premier Division fixture this evening, Waterford overcame a 2-0 deficit at half time to defeat Bohemians 3-2 at Dalymount Park.
