THE CHANCE! A Michael Duffy cross was met by Hoban unmarked and it just slipped past the post!

Five added minutes here, late drama seems to follow these two teams what way will it go tonight.

Boyle booked.

This game still could go either way. Dundalk press then Finn Harps counter its such end to end stuff here. Tense would not cut it here.

During the Harps celebrations that followed that goal, Dundalk made our first change of the night. Raivis Jurkovskis has come on for Sean Murray

And Harps are LEVEL! Tundi gets the ball on the break and curls a delightful effort past Cherrie. All square here!

Cameron is booked.

Eight goals in six games for Patrick Hoban who slams it past Doherty.

PENALTY DUNDALK! My oh my what a few minutes here.

What a strike! Duffy's free-kick flies into the bottom corner and Dundalk are level!

Free kick to Dundalk, Michael Duffy to take in a perfect area for him.

This game is pretty tense so far, Dundalk getting a little bit more stuck in and Finn Harps meeting them pound for pound, the crowd are really getting behind the home side.

Sean Murray's cross was met by Patrick Hoban but Doherty gets a hand to it and it's cleared.

We are back underway at Finn Park, Dundalk kick us off and the action is underway.

Half Time: Well Finn Harps are in the leading after an excellent well-taken goal from Owolabi and it was the home side who have had the better of chances and exchanges. Dundalk went close with Hoban being the conductor but his orchestra is off key.

The rain is absolutely pouring down here in Finn Park, Dundalk starting to get a few passages of play together but Finn Harps are holding firm.

An excellent ball from McNamee and Owolabi was up for the header but it just goes over the bar, that was a let off for Dundalk.

Boyd's free-kick is kicked directly at Cherrie, either side of him would have caused issues.

Sloggett is booked.

Sean Murray with a low effort that Doherty could only parry, the defence eventually clears.

Boyd is booked much to the dismay by some on and off the pitch, the challenge was 50-50 at best.

Absolutely amazing save to deny Boyd but the referee would have denied it for offside, Dundalk have been at sixes and sevens since the goal.

More on the goal: It's really is a superb goal by Owolabi as he controlled Mustoe's cross from wide on the left on the edge of the box before spinning to slot to the bottom left-hand corner

As simple as that! Owolabi gets the ball on the edge of the area and hits a low effort that Cherrie can't get a hand to. The home side take the lead!

Another curling effort from Hoban is saved easily from Ger Doherty.

Finn Harps breaking with intent and looking to test Peter Cherrie but Dundalk's defence hold firm.

From a Michael Duffy free-kick, Greg Sloggett was at the back post ready to convert but the ball just evades him.

Great chance for Dundalk as Hoban comes in off the right and his high curling effort just goes wide of the post. Sign of intent from the Dundalk striker.

Dundalk continuing to press here as to look to get an early lead, a few intakes of breath as the ball fell to Michael Duffy who looks to weave his magic.

Daniel Cleary was dispossessed and Owolabi was on hand to steal the ball his cross however could not meet McNamee at the back post.

Patrick Hoban heads the ball down to the onrushing Stanton by Doherty was alert to the danger.

We are underway at Finn Park. Finn Harps kick us off and get the game underway.

FAI CEO and League Director Mark Scanlon are in attendance tonight.

Dundalk and Finn Harps have taken to the pitch we will be underway soon. Dundalk in the traditional black and white strip and Finn Harps in blue and white.

We are just minutes away, this Dundalk team on paper are very strong tonight, as there was concerns over the fitness of Greg Sloggett.

Conditions for this evenings match are almost perfect, a crisp and cool evening.

Daniel Cleary starts his 110th game for the club tonight. The centre half has now gone exactly 12 months without a goal having not scored since the KÍ Klaksvík game this day last year.

It's a big night for Darragh Leahy who makes the 100th appearance of his club career. His debut game was for Bohs v Rovers in Dalymount on February 16th 2018 - a night they won 3-1 courtesy of a Dan Casey double and Paddy Kavanagh strike which cancelled out Ronan Finn's opener

Peter Cherrie celebrates his 38th birthday today. It's just the second time in his career that he has played on his birthday. The last time was back in 2010 for Dundalk under Ian Foster when a Fahrudin Kuduzovic hat-trick earned a 3-0 win over Galway Utd.
