Half-Time Report: Matt Derbyshire strike hands Rotherham United lead against Ipswich Town

Matt Derbyshire scores seven minutes before half time to hand Rotherham United a 1-0 lead at the break of their Championship clash against Ipswich Town.

Rotherham United hold a 1-0 lead over Ipswich Town at the break of their Championship clash thanks to a strike from Matt Derbyshire.

Ipswich had a glorious chance to take the lead in the first minute of the game as Daryl Murphy was put through on goal, but he could only fire his strike straight at Adam Collin, who made the stop with his legs.

The Republic of Ireland forward had the next opening too as Jay Tabb's corner landed at his feet inside the box, but he was unable to direct his effort on target from close range as his shot flashed over the bar.

Rotherham hit back with a good opportunity of their own as Craig Morgan was presented with a free header in the box, although he guided his effort straight into the arms of Bartosz Bialkowski.

David McGoldrick almost engineered a goal for the visitors as he turned his man in the penalty area, but his low strike towards the near post was well saved by Collin.

The home side took the lead just before the break when Derbyshire reacted fastest to a loose ball in the penalty area and powered a diving header past Bialkowski.
