Derry City – Bohemians

Derry City’s fortress at the Brandywell was shattered as Bohemians stormed in for a 4‑1 victory, widening the gap between the two sides in the league table. The win lifted the Dublin club to third place with 53 points from 30 games, while the home side slipped to fifth on 37 points, their goal difference now a slender +2 after conceding 40. Bohemians’ dominance this season continued, having won two of the three previous meetings and only one draw, a record that now looks even more decisive. The result also highlighted the disparity in form: Bohemians boast 15 wins compared with Derry’s eight, underscoring why the league leaders are pulling away.
