2-0 to the hosts. Eoin Doyle converts the spot kick after McCormack was brought down in the penalty area.

Another change for UCD as Ryan Bowden replaces the injured Eric Yoro.

Better play from the hosts sees Eoin Doyle cut it back to Mark but Gallagher does well to match the run and wins a free out. Anto Breslin is booked for a foul on Kerrigan.

McCormack looks for Mark Doyle instead of opting to shoot which was the better choice. Eoin Doyle is next to get almost in behind but UCD do well to defend. Lonegran and Kerrigan replace Higgins and Dignam

A change for the hosts as McClelland is replaced by Ben McCormack.

It's going from bad to worse for UCD. Andy Meyler and his assistant Willie O'Connor have both been sent off following the Curtis decision.

A massive let off for Sam Curtis and St. Pat's. A straight ball over the top is collected by Dara Keane who looks to race in on goal but is deemed to have been clipped by Curtis however, the fullback is only cautioned much to the outrage of the UCD coaching staff. The resulting free-kick comes to nothing.

The hosts break the deadlock. Mark Doyle drives with the ball infield, he lays it onto Forrester inside the area who decides not to shoot and chip it to Eoin Doyle whose header is too powerful for Moore and loops into the net.

No changes at half-time for either side as UCD get us restarted.

Another free kick for UCD is well cleared by Redmond. St. Pat's have a penalty shout waved away. Mark Doyle felt he was held back in the penalty area. Donal Higgins has a half chance that goes wide for the visitors. A massive chance for the visitors is squandered. A lovely pass from Brennan to Keane whos strike is well saved by Anang. The ball drops to Brennan on the half volley but he can only hit it straight at Anang. HT 0-0.

A free kick in a good area for UCD is overhit and wasted. Duffy does well to win another free for the visitors. This time it is a better delivery and the header has to be helped over the bar by Anang. The following corner comes to nothing. O'Reilly does well to stop a UCD chance. He drives the length of the pitch before giving it out to Burns and his cross come shot can't be headered in by Eoin Doyle.

A nice piece of trickery from Burns is followed up by a shot which is blocked. Pat's are struggling to break down the UCD low block. A header from a corner for the hosts is tipped just over. The resulting corner falls to Eoin Doyle in the sx yard area but he misses a guilt edge opportunity that goes just past the post.

UCD's best chance of the game falls to Dara Keane coming in off the right hand side. They work it well down the left hand side and a good delivery to the back post is hit inches past the post. Pat's go down the other end and Forrester attempts to lob Moore but the keeper collects the ball at full stretch. Another Pat's corner comes to nothing. Moore spills a high ball which falls to the feet of Mark Doyle but he strikes it comfortably over the bar.

Both sides struggling to create anything since Doyle's opportunity. UCD trying to retain possession more.

A few slack passes in the last few minutes from the hosts. Pat's looking to get in behind the UCD back four but it is not coming off so far. The best chance of the game so far falls to Eoin Doyle who does well to control it in the penalty area. He twists and shoots but his shot is palmed away for a corner. The resulting set piece comes to nothing.

A strike from Burns on the edge of the area is gathered on the second attempt by Moore. Few chances in the opening 15 minutes.

A corner for the Saints comes to nothing and Burns does well to mop up a potential counter attack for UCD. The home side have started the brighter of the two.

An early half chance for Forrester is volleyed high over the bar. Some good link up play between Eoin Doyle and Burns sees Doyle get to the by line but his cross is collected by Moore before McClelland can get there.

The Saints get the first half underway, shooting from right to left.
