Trouble at Mills was followed by Chorazka making the save of the season to date, a point blank dive to his left which saw him somehow push Hoban’s shot over the crossbar. First up, Maher’s 15th minute save from Flores should have seen the danger averted. But no Derry defender anticipated the possibility of him stopping Flores’ attempt whereas Danny Grant was alert to the opening.Two minutes later redemption arrived for Sadou Diallo - for it was his foul on Rooney which led to the Bohs penalty. But it didn’t take him long to make amends, the midfielder getting a deft touch on Patching’s cross to guide the ball past Chorazka. 1-1, 17 minutes played.
