DERBY, England (Interstat) — Jaydon Amauri Banel’s first-half goal was the difference as Derby County FC defeated Oxford United 1-0 in a Championship match Saturday at Pride Park Stadium.

The decisive moment came in the 22nd minute when Banel finished a move to give the hosts a lead they would not relinquish. The visitors failed to mount a sustained response as Derby’s defense held firm to secure the three points.

The match was a physical affair, producing five yellow cards. The result aligns with statistical models that heavily favored a Derby victory. Oxford United, which had won the previous meeting between the clubs in October, leaves empty-handed.
