At half time the Derry fans felt the team needed to step up.

A better last 10mins, Derry still haven't settled. Another big 2nd half needed today again. #KervDer

And they did, opening with a goal, but one fan felt sorry for the Kerry keeper.

Exactly what a young lad need after a mistake. Five seconds on the big screen! #KervDer

Derry's black card was a major talking talking point, some feeling it was unfair.

Interesting call by the referee. Black Card for holding the backs hand and pulling him down!! #GAA #KervDer

Well done to the minors! Let's hope it's two wins in a row @Kerry_Official #KERvTYR #KERvDER #CiarraíAbú
