Full time at Finn Park and a comfortable win for Rovers. Finn Harps were competitive up until the second goal and the red card was needless. Rovers get their title defence back on track with a 3-0 win.

Deep into injury time now but no indication from the fourth occasion how much they'll play.

Bastien Hery is in goal for Harps as they have used up their subs already.

Graham Burke tucks home the penalty. 3-0

Penalty for Rovers and McGinley is sent off for Harps.

Andy Lyons gets his second with a real touch of quality. 2-0 Rovers and probably the three points wrapped up.

Timlin and Hery on for Harps instead of McWoods and Carillo.

Yellow card for Roberto Lopes for shall we say, a professional foul there to keep Rovers ahead.

Lee Grace comes off for Sean Gannon for Rovers.

Great save from McGinley from Burke once again. Great battle between these two tonight.

Mcwoods goes very close to levelling the game. He uses his pace and power to dodge the Rovers defence but his shot slides just past the left hand post.

Excellent defending from Tourish who manages to rob the ball from Gaffney who was through on goal at the near post to stop a certain goal.

Ethan Boyle goes close for Harps with a header from Rob Slevin's cross. The ball hits the bar before Mannus tips it over the bar for a corner which is cleared.

A yellow for Richie Towell which is perhaps a bit harsh considering it came from a collision with McGinley as they went to compete for a cross.

No real chances so far for either side in the second half. Rovers being a goal up, are happy to keep the ball and play at their own pace and control the game.

Conor Tourish went down with a knock for Harps. But much to Ollie Horgan's relief, he gets up and seems to be ok.

Underway for the second half. Rob Slevin on for Alkan for Finn Harps.

Players beginning to come out for the second half.

A real sickner for Harps at the end of the first half but on the balance of play, Rovers deserve to lead at the break.

Goal for Shamrock Rovers on the stroke of Shamrock Rovers. A great corner put in by Jack Byrne and Andy Lyons beats everyone at the near post to put the visitors ahead.

Three minutes of added time here at Finn Park.

Close call for Harps there. Gaffney flicks the ball over his shoulder and flashes a shot across the face of goal and out for a throw.

Conor Tourish has been fantastic for Finn Harps so far tonight. The defender has along with Mark McGinley, been the reason for Harps still being on level terms.

Ryan Rainey forced off injured after picking up a knock. Yousef Mahdy comes on in his place.

Rovers beginning to take control again, penning Finn Harps inside their own half. Jack Byrne conducting the attacks in midfield. Harps resolute in defence so far however.

Burke and McGinley having their own battle so far. Another great turn and shot from the Rovers striker but McGinley makes another great save.

Another chance for Graham Burke for Rovers. Jack Byrne feeds a lovely ball into his feet and fires a similar effort to earlier which McGinley is equal to once more. Entertaining first 20 minutes or so at Finn Park.

Much better from Finn Harps in the past couple of minutes, Barry McNamee has been influential for the hosts in midfield who wins a corner. Mihalijevic gets a shot away from the resulting corner but it's cleared.

N'zeyi with a great chance for Harps, beautiful footwork to get away from the Rovers defence, the looks to have either hit the post or the placards beside the goal. Some effort though.

All Rovers early on with the hosts struggling to get a hold of the ball. A first corner for the visitors is cleared but Harps under a lot of pressure early on.

Graham Burke with the first chance for Rovers, hitting it on the half volley from just outside the 18 yard box, McGinley does well to palm the ball away.

Underway
