Match Info

Derby County earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough at Pride Park in the Championship on January 1, 2026. A single goal decided this tight encounter, giving Derby a precious three points in their battle for survival and dealing another blow to Middlesbrough's promotion hopes. The only goal came in the second half from a set-piece situation, with Derby's captain rising highest to power a header home. Middlesbrough dominated possession for large periods but struggled to break down a resolute and disciplined Rams defense, which threw bodies in the way of every shot. Derby's goalkeeper also made a crucial late save to preserve the lead and secure a vital clean sheet. The win sparked jubilant scenes among the home fans, providing a huge lift in their fight against relegation, while Boro's manager was left to ponder his side's lack of cutting edge.
