Pat Hoban this time guilty of a poor cross from the left just before the referee blows for a water break.

Last chance for Derry manager Ruaidhrí Higgins to rally the troops.

A well timed delivery from the left wing falls perfectly for Paulo Mendes at the edge of the box, but Mendes blasts his strike well wide.

The game getting a bit stretched this last five minutes.

Derry pushing hard but Magpies looking dangerous on the break.

Daniel Kelly is making great runs down that right flank, but his crosses have not been up to the required standard so far.

We're underway at Nantporth Stadium!

Can Crusaders bring a positive result back to Seaview or will Caernarfon Town win their first game in Europe?

Paul McMullan slides Daniel Kelly in down the right-hand side, but the winger can't beat Magpies goalkeeper Dayle Coleing at the near post.

Twenty-five minutes remaining.

Time to have your say.

Hit thumbs-up if you think Derry can win, or thumbs-down if you think the Magpies will hold on. Let's go!

Jack Storer leaves the field and Derry will not be dissappointed. The midfielder perhaps withdrawn so he doesn't get himself a second yellow card.

He has been a thorn in the Candystripes' side all afternoon.

A piece of real class from Will Patching there.

The midfielder with a lovely swivel and backheel on the edge of the area to slip Daniel Kelly through on goal. But Kelly can only shoot across goal when he should have hit the target. Skills.

Another lucky escape for Derry City.

Jack Storer yet again the man involved. The midfielder waltzes into the visitor's box past Mark Connolly far too easily, but luckily for Derry, Storer smashes his effort over when he should have scored from 12 yards.

Jack Storer causing issues again for Derry.

The midfielder turning smartly inside the box and it requires a smart double block from the City defenders to prevent a second goal for the hosts.

Higher tempo in the game now.

Derry seem to have a sense of urgency since the goal.

Ben Doherty crosses from the left but Pat Hoban can only head the ball beyond onto the face of Adam O'Reilly and out for a goal-kick. Hoban should really have left that one.

Paul McMullan plays a shocking pass across his own 18-yard box and the hosts bang a shot in from 20 yards that is defected just over the Derry crossar for a corner.

Derry City get us underway in the second half. No changes at the break.

Crusaders midfield Philip Lowry believes their Uefa Conference League first qualifying round first leg against Caernarfon Town will be "like an Irish League game."

The Crues travel to Wales for the first leg of the tie in what will be Caernarfon's first ever European game.

Lowry thinks that the two sides will be at a similar level, meaning that both will fancy their chances of progressing.

"It will be blood and thunder and very physical, they will be more than ready for us, so it's a tie we're really looking forward to," he told BBC Sport NI.

It's scoreless had half-time in Gibraltar. City had the pick of the chances, hitting the crossbar early-on, but the game has petered out a little as both sides feeling the effect of some scorching heat.

Carlos Garcia now in the book for the hosts after a clear foul on Pat Hoban.

Now it is Derry City who are enjoying possession, but the pace has all been quite pedestrian the last few minutes. Both sides perhaps aware of the need to conserve energy for later in the game.
