Derry City manager Kenny Shiels warned against his players adopting an overly gung ho approach in their second leg tie against Dinamo Minsk in the Europa League tonight.
The Candystripes lost 2-0 in the Brandywell last week, conceding the opening goal after just two minutes but putting in a resilient performance after that.
They face a daunting task in Belarus this afternoon (4pm) and while Shiels is keen not to leave his defence exposed, he insists they need to performed better at the other end of the pitch.
"Their early goal in the first leg was a massive blow but we fought back well after that," Shiels told the Derry City website.
"There’s no point in going out there gung-ho and leaving ourselves too open but we do need to show more intent in the final third.
"We need to stay in the tie as long as we can because if we do that and can nick one ourselves, that would certainly ask the question."
