On his 36th European appearance the winger netted the decisive goal as Ruaidhri Higgins’ side advanced to the Europa Conference League third qualifying round where they’ll travel to Kazakhstan to take on Tobol
However, City twice came from behind in the tie as super sub Sadou Diallo and Duffy netted either side of a lovely team move finished by Savolainen. Duffy’s powerful 69th minute header proved the difference as Derry clinched a remarkable 5-4 aggregate victory which banked another €300,000 for the Brandywell outfit, taking their European pot to a staggering €850,000 so far.
Derry skipper Patrick McEleney – playing his 47th European fixture – went down clutching his Achilles on the half-hour mark and was replaced by Sadou Diallo – a bitter blow for the Foylesiders. Just before the interval KuPS took the lead after a long ball was nodded down by Yengi and Tuominen played it into the path of Savolainen with a deft touch.
It was an extraordinary tie and Derry levelled the match for a second time when Diallo swung in an inviting cross and Duffy ran between two defenders and powered home his header into the corner on 69 minutes. Five additional minutes were added on at the end but KuPS had run out of ideas and Derry held firm to advance to the third round in Europe for just the second time in the club’s history.Maher; Boyce, Connolly, McJannet, Doherty; Dummigan , P McEleney , Patching; Duffy, C.
Substitute Greg Sloggett did head home an equaliser a minute from time to at least see them avoid defeat on the night but it is KA – who scored with five of their six shots on target across both legs – who march on to face Club Brugge next week. Connor Malley then had an effort from long range pushed away by Jajalo a minute before the break but despite bossing possession in the second half they were lucky not to fall further behind on 66 minutes when Jakob Snaer Árnason struck the crossbar.
A first half goal from Kristoffer Zachariassen and another at the death from Samy Mmaee gave Ferencváros a deserved victory on the night before a somewhat muted crowd of 3,737 – just over half the figure at Tallaght Stadium for last month’s defeat to Breiðablik in the Champions League first round. Markus Poom’s diagonal found Sean Gannon on the right who availed of a slip by Cristian Ramirez to get a run on goal. Coming in from a tight angle, Gannon pulled the ball back for Johnny Kenny who just couldn’t get any venom in the shot which was blocked by Mmaee.
