FT: Bray 1-3 Cork - As I echoed at half-time, the hosts will feel aggrieved, but such is life... when you don't take your chances, you'll eventually get punished. They did more than enough to, at worst, snatch a draw. Instead they leave empty-handed.

Off the post! Healy\'s corner finds Hakkinen, whose flick-on cannons back off the upright! Still 3-1, but it could be much worse from a Bray perspective - not least with a numerical disadvantage now.

As expected, both sides making more substitutions now as this game is starting to peter out... Bray's Vilius Labutis came on a few minutes ago, while another double Cork change: Darragh Crowley and Ronan Hurley on for the lively Bargary and Bolger, who held that proverbial tightrope on a booking.

RED CARD! An off-the-ball incident which my TV camera didn't capture, Conor Clifford is shown a straight red card after getting physical with Aaron Bolger - who has also been booked in the aftermath. Tempers flaring after a few too many harsh challenges tonight, it seems.

Double change for the visitors now: Ally Gilchrist and Dylan McGlade coming on, replacing Kevin O'Connor and James Doona - whose last action helped create what looks to have been the matchwinner!

McGuinness\' important saves had kept Bray in with a chance of salvaging something from this game, and suddenly he\'s just contributed to their second-half downfall! Made a mess of an attempted catch as Doona whipped the ball in, with Ruairi Keating who cannot believe his luck to nod home from a yard or so out!

GOAL! WHAT A DISASTER! GOALKEEPING MISTAKE RESTORES CORK'S TWO-GOAL LEAD!

Byrne may have missed a promising chance, but he\'s now also turned creator to help tee up Darragh Lynch\'s leaping header into the far corner! It\'s the least Bray deserve, though you\'d assume this fires Cork back into action..

BRAY GOAL! 2-1, IT'S GAME ON AGAIN!

The ball sits up nicely for substitute Kurtis Byrne in the box, with only the 'keeper to beat... but he blazes his effort wide. Took a deflection, corner to come.

Then up the other end, Bray almost halve the deficit! Paul Fox's low cross deceives two defenders, the ball falls to Callum Thompson inside the area, he fires narrowly wide of the near post but really should've scored there.

Big save! McGuinness produces an excellent leg save to thwart Murphy's goalbound effort as Cork create another inviting opportunity...

It is Karl Manahan and Kurtis Byrne on, in a creative-minded double change for the hosts.

There are those substitutions now, a bit early and questions over the personnel by the Bray-based commentary team... Ben Feeney and Eoin Massey trudging off the pitch.

Second-half has begun! No changes by either side at the break, I'll let you know when if (and when) that changes.

HT: Bray 0-2 Cork - The visitors will feel hard done by, but they haven't taken their chances and can't afford to dwell on their sloppy mistakes if they're to keep this competitive early in the second-half.

Ruairi Keating had his sidefooted effort parried, but only as far as Jonas Hakkinen who made no mistake from close-range to provide a hammer blow to Bray\'s brave yet stumbling efforts in a slow-burning first-half.

GOAL! CORK DOUBLE THEIR LEAD, RIGHT BEFORE THE BREAK!

First booking of the evening and there can be no complaints for Kevin Knight, penalised after a cynical but necessary challenge near the halfway line to stop Cork in transition.

From said goalbound clearance, the referee curiously awarded a goal-kick and Bray briefly played forwards before a cynical challenge stopped any potential move in its tracks. It's been that sort of evening so far, I'm afraid.

Just as I was about to say not much of note had happened... Cian Bargary's mazy run forward almost saw him rewarded with a second assist of this first-half. Unfortunately for him though, his cutback in the area was well defended as Bray scrambled to clear their lines.

Daniel Blackbyrne's praises are being sung by the commentators - he's undoubtedly at the heart of Bray's bullish spells in defence, as Cork dangerously probe in search of doubling their lead...

Bray, as they were doing before conceding, have maintained an encouraging attitude since the restart. Ben Feeney came close early on and in truth, the visitors are struggling to retain possession in midfield right now.

Orchestrated by Cian Bargary who was scanning for options on the edge of the area, Murphy bypassed the Bray backline with an overlapping run before finishing across goal at McGuinness' near post. 1-0 to Cork.

After a period where they found themselves under pressure early on, Cork City are ahead through Cian Murphy's fifth goal of the season!

The referee blows his whistle, and we're off!

Less than ten minutes until kick-off now, the players have gone through their respective warm-ups and now the sprinklers are watering the pitch... slick conditions for what promises to be an intriguing watch.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it goes the saying... an unchanged Cork City side is fielded by visiting head coach Colin Healy - 21-year-old striker Louis Britton, acquired on Wednesday, doesn't feature in their matchday squad.
