FULL TIME: Dundalk and Levadia served up a European game to remember as the sides drew 2-2 in the Tallaght Stadium. In the first half that was a game that showed the best of what Dundalk can offer on this stage but also a real indication of the quality of this side under manager Vinny Perth. The second leg and an opportunity to face Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem in the next round is firmly is still on the cards for both sides and with away goals scrapped it will be a shoot out to see who will face the Eredivisie side.

For dissent, Sonni gets a yellow.

What a run and shot by McEleney, he ghosted past four players before his right-footed effort is well saved by Vallner.

He is replaced by Ole Erik Midtskogen.

Vintage performance from McMillan as he comes off.

A corner sent it was met by Sloggett but his body was the wrong way and his headed effort is cleared.

Karl Rudolf Õigus replaces Frank Liivak for Levadia.

Murray comes on who has a good pedigree in Europe when it comes to important goals.

Stanton comes off and what a game he has had.

The best chance of the half for Dundalk, Sloggett with a snap shot on the edge of the area and it curls just wide of the post.

Rasmus Peetson is booked for a foul on McEleney.

Mark Oliver Roosnupp and Robert Kirss replace Ernest Agyiri and Zakaria Beglarishvili for Levadia.

McEleney and Stanton link up well and McEleney's shot gets a deflection and it's a corner that Vallner collects with ease.

Zakaria Beglarishvili is booked for a foul, Nattestad took his time getting back up from the challenge.

Sloggett replaces Zahibo, it hasn't been an easy game and the fans let it known at times.

Maksim Podholjuzin was booked for a foul on McMillan

Trevor Elhi replaces Ilja Antonov for the away side.

Fantastic save from Abibi denying Zakaria Beglarishvili and Dundalk clear the danger of the follow-up. Levadia is looking extremely dangerous on the right-hand side.

We are back underway, Dundalk restart proceedings here in Tallaght.

Milijan Llic is off for the second half and Rasmus Peetson is on.

HALF TIME: Exhilarating, breathtaking, charged, electric this game has had it all so far. Four goals, penalty calls and a blistering start for all to see. There is a lot more to this and it's going to be so hard to call.

Kelly stops the attack from Levadia with a foul and the referee has no option but to give him a yellow.

There is a shout for a penalty here, the players protest for a brief second before being waved away. If it had been given it would have been regarded as 'soft'

Brent Lepistu fouls McMillan and despite protests from the player is booked.

And Dundalk is level! A cross from Jurkovskis and McMillan with a cool touch and shot to slot it past Vallner.

What a chance! The initial ball falls to McMillan who couldn't get a header goalwards the cross from the left found Kelly unmarked but he wasn't ready for it and it goes wide.

A cross from the right from Kelly is met by McMillan but his header didn't have enough power to test Vallner.

Goal Levadia. Zahibo loses the ball in the centre of the park and with his second goal Bogdan Vaštšuk latches onto the through ball and clips it over Abibi.

Two corners in quick success see Dundalk test the Levadia defence but to no avail.

Will Patching's goal is Dundalk's 75th in European competition. Left out of the squad last year he now has 2 European goals for the club putting himself alongside names such as Stokes, Devine, Flanagan, Kudozovic, Towell, Byrne, Kilduff and Gartland

After a start of starts this has calmed down a little, in terms of chances the away side have had the better of them but Dundalk has settled better into the game if the ball is high in the area that Levadia look under pressure especially in the goal area.

Alessio Abibi does excellent to save from a Liivak shot and it\'s a corner, it is sent in but it goes over everyone.

And we are level! Dundalk in their first attack sees Patching get the ball on the edge of the area and slam it home. Well this is the start of starts.

Goal Levadia! Their first attack sees a cross from the right is sent into Bogdan Vaštšuk who slots home from close range, clinical finish.

And we are underway at the Tallaght Stadium, Levadia Tallinn kick us off.

And here come the teams. Genuinely as a reporter and a fan this is fantastic, fans in full voice and the place despite only 1000 people they are making their presence known. This has been a long time coming.

Tonight’s ref is Miroslav Zelinka from the Czech Republic. He has previously reffed a Dundalk game in Europe - the 2-1 defeat to Zenit St Petersburg here in Tallaght Stadium in October 2016.

There is only one thing to say tonight...The HEAT! It's 24 degrees but its a very dead heat and will be a big factor in this tie.

With Michael Duffy, Daniel Cleary, Brian Gartland and Patrick Hoban all missing, not one of tonight's Dundalk squad featured when the Lilywhites beat Levadia 3-1 over two legs in 2018. Maksim Podholjuzin is the one survivor from the Levadia team starting tonight
