Derry City 2 Dundalk 2Captain Michael Duffy got Derry City massively out of jail when his controversial stoppage time penalty earned his side a share of the spoils against Dundalk. City were again lacklustre and never really got going but for a 15-minute spell in the second half. Another McClean free-kick on 74 minutes picked out Dipo Akinyemi, but the substitute’s first time header was superbly kept out by Kearns. Then with the last kick of the game, Derry levelled things when the City skipper slotted home from the spot. Derry City: Callister, Winchester, P McClean, Slevin, Fleming; O’Reilly, J McClean; Duffy, Clarke (Akinyemi 74), Markey; Thomas (Rylah 92).
