Sligo Rovers were denied a priceless three points at the Brandywell on Monday evening, when a late equaliser by Ronan Boyce earned Derry City a 1-1 draw.
Rovers looked on course for the win after Jordan Gibson had given the visitors the lead early in the second-half.
But Boyce's shot on 85 minutes took a wicked deflection and wrongfooted Rovers keeper Ed McGinty.
