WHAT A SAVE! A corner from Duffy was met by Zahibo but its excellently saved

Duffy's cross was met by Zahibo and McGinty does well to save but it was routine but Zahibo knows he should have done better.

The goalscorer gets man of the match for tonight.

And Figueira tried his luck from distance and it had the pace and height but it went wide of the mark.

A high ball sent into the area was headed down by Duffy but McGinty was equal to it.

Junior comes off for the final ten minutes.

Ole enters the field of play.

For a clash on McGinty, Kelly goes into the book.

Murray on the volley but his effort was always rising, Dundalk have failed despite possession and attacking to test McGinty in the goal this half.

Kenny comes off and the young player had a great opportunity in the first half.

Horgan comes on for defensive cover for Sligo.

A cross from the right was met by Duffy but his effort went wide of the post.

McEleney comes on in a more attacking threat for Dundalk

Big chance for Dundalk as Sean Murray lays the ball off to Kelly but his effort goes over the bar.

In a straight swap, Kelly comes on.

Han comes off.

Parkes is the player to come off.

For a high book on Junior, Buckley is sent off and Sligo are down to ten.

And we are back underway at Oriel Park.

That's half time with Sligo taking the lead thanks to a goal from Jordan Gibson. Dundalk needs a bit of magic in the second half in order to get back to this.

And Sligo takes the lead, Dundalk loses posession through Boyle and Sligo advance the ball forward with Gibson lets fly from about thirty yards and leaves Cherrie with no chance. Great strike for the away side.

Chris Shields also booked for his reaction to the challenge

For a late challenge on Adedokun, Buckley goes into the book. You could hear the contact from up here.

Golden chance as Johnny Kenny breaks through but the 17-year-olds effort is well saved by Cherrie, the angle was tight but he rook his effort very well.

This has been a bit quiet here as we approach halfway through the first half. Both sides have had chances but Figueria's rattling the crossbar was the pick of the chances.

Han gets the lay off from Sean Murray and he does test McGinty at the near post.

Dundalk carve out a chance of their own as Han does brilliantly to win the ball back and he lays it off to Junior but his shot is straight at McGinty.

Figueria on the edge of the area hits an excellent shot that rattles off the crossbar. Peter Cherrie was left rooted to the spot and the follow up goes out for a corner.

A special visitor to Oriel Park tonight. Dermot Keely is here and is a former manager of both these sides, Dermot, unfortunately, lost his son Alan this week who was a former League of Ireland player, there was a minute silence for his son before this evenings game.

And we are underway at Oriel Park. Kenny gets us underway.

And the teams are out, Dundalk in the usual black and white and Sligo in the red strip.

Chris Shields comes into the game having scored in back to back matches, a feat very rare in itself. His first Dundalk appearance under Stephen Kenny came in a 3-1 defeat here against Sligo in March 2013 as a 69th-minute sub for one of the men in the dugout tonight, Stephen McDonnell.

We are lead to believe that Johnathan Hill the new CEO of the FAI will be in attendance tonight, already sitting in the dugout is St. Patricks Athletic head coach Stephen O'Donnell taking a look at his former side and the side he drew with last week in the league.

Conditions today are unusually cold for a May Day in Oriel although I have always said that Oriel Park operates in its own eco-system! The sun is out and not a bit of wind blowing across the pitch.

For Dundalk FC there are two changes from the side that came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 in Longford on Monday. Han Jeong-woo and Wilfried Zahibo have come in for Patrick McEleney and Greg Sloggett, who are now among the subs. Val Adedokun a surprising addition to the side on Monday makes his full home debut at left-back.

Good Evening from Oriel Park Ladies and Gentlemen and you are most welcome to tonight's coverage of Dundalk FC vs Sligo Rovers. Ciaran Callan from FinalWhistle to take you through tonight's action. The teams are in and are now live on the website lineups.
