Sligo put halt to Derry City winning streak with a disappointing 2 nil defeat at the Showgrounds.

Sligo Rovers put in a disciplined and effective performance to halt Derry City’s winning streak at The Showgrounds, securing a 2-0 victory that could prove important for both teams’ seasons.

For Sligo, this result is a welcome boost. After a challenging campaign, three points against one of the league’s in-form sides will lift confidence and provide some breathing room in the battle to avoid the drop. The team showed organisation at the back and took their chances when they came, a formula that has sometimes eluded them this year.

Derry City, by contrast, will see this as a missed opportunity. Their recent run of wins had put them back in the title conversation, but on this occasion, they struggled to break down a determined Sligo defence and were punished for lapses at the back. While this loss is not a fatal blow to their ambitions, it does serve as a reminder that consistency is key in the title race.
