The river with the Irish will need "travellers" to cross.

The article discusses the upcoming football match between Rijeka and Derry City in the second qualifying round of the Conference League. Rijeka, a Croatian club, is expected to be a strong favorite against Derry City, which is based in Northern Ireland but competes in the Republic of Ireland's Premier Division. Derry City has faced financial difficulties and has often been on the edge between professionalism and amateurism, though they have achieved stability in recent years. The article notes that Derry City lost two matches in their qualification campaign, including a controversial stoppage-time goal against Bulgarian team CSKA Sofia. It warns that Rijeka should take these challenges seriously, as Derry City could pose a threat despite being considered a weaker opponent. The article also mentions that Derry City finished second in their league last season and has participated in European competitions before, although they failed in the first qualifying round against Gibraltar. The match is seen as an important test for Rijeka, both in terms of performance and reputation.

Rijeka, hrvatski nogometni klub, doista je izgubio dvije utakmice u kvalifikacijama za Europsku ligu, uključujući poraz od bugarskog CSKA 2:3 u Sofiji i 1:2 kod kuće. Klub sada mora suditi protiv sjevernoirskog kluba Derry City u prvoj utakmici 2. pretkola Konferencijske lige, koja će se odigrati 23. srpnja na stadionu Rujevica.
