Midtiylland show their class as Derry hit for six

FC MIDTJYLLAND 6 - 1 Derry City: Derry City suffered a heavy defeat in Denmark last night — their worst in European competition as a League of Ireland club — Kenny Shiels side no match for a quality FC Midtiylland.

In fact, the Danes had ended this game as a contest when leading 3-0 at the half-time interval and, if the truth be told, it could have been more.

Failure to successfully defend two early set-piece situations proved costly, before the Candystripes conceded a penalty minutes before the break to end Derry’s involvement in this competition.
