HNK Rijeka edged past Derry City with a 1-0 win in the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round. The decisive moment came early, and the Croatian side held on despite persistent home pressure.
Daniel Adu-Addei scored the only goal in the 14th minute, turning the match in Rijeka's favour. Derry City pushed for an equaliser but could not find a way through, and the visitors managed the game to secure the lead.
The match saw five yellow cards—three for Derry City (Brooklyn Lyons-Foster, Cameron Dummigan, Darragh Burns) and two for Rijeka (Nick Twisk, Ante Majstorović)—reflecting a scrappy encounter. Without detailed statistics, the game was closely fought, but Rijeka's early goal proved enough.
