Ferry Brace Fires Dundee United to Convincing Derby Win Over Dundee FC
Will Ferry produced a standout performance as Dundee United FC defeated city rivals Dundee FC 3–0 in the Scottish Premiership relegation round on matchday 34.
The hosts took control early. In the 14th minute, Ferry opened the scoring for Dundee United, putting his side 1–0 up and setting the tone for a dominant derby display. That early breakthrough would be the only goal of the first half, with no further detailed match events available from the opening 45 minutes beyond a booking for Ryan Strain.
Strain was shown a yellow card for Dundee United in the 34th minute, but it did little to unsettle the home side’s rhythm as they maintained their advantage into the interval.
The match shifted decisively in United’s favour after a flurry of second-half action. In the 69th minute both managers turned to their benches, with Dundee United replacing Max Watters with Ivan Dolček, while Dundee FC introduced Charlie Reilly for Cameron Congreve and Simon Murray for Scott Wright in a double change.
Just a minute later, Ferry struck again. The midfielder doubled United’s lead in the 70th minute, finishing a move assisted by Vicko Sevelj to make it 2–0. Dundee FC barely had time to react before United added a third. In the 72nd minute, Strain made amends for his earlier booking by scoring United’s third, with Ferry turning provider this time.
Dundee FC made further changes late on, bringing on Tony Yogane for Ashley Hay in the 79th minute, but the visitors could not find a response. United then used their healthy lead to manage minutes, withdrawing Ferry and Emmanuel Agyei for Johnny Russell and Panutche Camará in the 83rd minute, before Strain made way for Dario Naamo a minute later.
The 3–0 result gives Dundee United a major boost in the Scottish Premiership relegation round, while Dundee FC leave the derby empty-handed. More detailed statistics and events from the match are not available beyond the recorded goals, cards and substitutions.
