Full time as City edge eight man Rovers in a remarkable game to seal their second win on the trot.

Five additional minutes to be played.

Keating breaks the deadlock to give City the lead. 1-0.

Double change for City as Cian Murphy and John O'Donovan come on for Owolabi and Walker.

Rovers make a double sub with Nugent and Greene on for Byrne and Poom.

Rovers hanging in there in fairness as City pour forward but haven't been able to make their advantage count so far. Keating's latest effort is a header which goes wide.

Another sub for City as Daniel Creszic comes on for Barry Coffey

Owolabi booked for City.

Make that another one, Sean Hoare this time for a second yellow. Rovers down to EIGHT. This is crazy stuff.

ANOTHER RED for Roves as sub Johnny Kenny is sent off. He'd only been on for four minutes.

Sub for Rovers as Jonny Kenny comes on to replace Rory Gaffney.

Keating gets a shot away but its a straightforward save for the keeper.

Jack Byrne attempts to up the tempo by spraying a few passes in midfield while Gordon Walker heads over from a Barry Coffey corner for City.

Back underway. There doesn't appear to be any changes to the sides as we recommence.

Half time with a pretty dramatic ending. Richie Towell got sent off for what would appeared to be a stamp on Ruari Keating inside the box with the former Dundalk midfielder coming down on Keating's foot while a corner was being sent in. Rovers staff memeber Gary Cronin was also booked in a separate incident. Anyways, scoreless at the break.

A member of the Rovers backroom team has now also been shown a yellow.

Richie Towell is sent off for an incident off the ball which was spotted by the linesmen, more information when we get it. Rovers down to 10.

Good save from Corcoran to deny Towell while the resulting corner is headed over.

Brief stoppage as Owolabi gets treatment but is ok to continue.

Gary O'Neill proving to be very influential for Rovers in midfield, he takes a shot on goal himself but thankfully for Jimmy Corcoran it flies over his crossbar.

Still scoreless but City very much playing second fiddle in this game so far.

Marcus Poom has had a couple of efforts recently; one from a header while another from a half volley which flew just over the bar. Rovers beginning to turn the screw.

Both sides still looking to feel eachother out with Richie Towell the only player to have a shot in the past few minutes. His effort flew left and wide of the target however.

Half chance for Cork who look to start this game quickly but Tunde Owulabi is unable to link the play in order to get a shot away.

Game on.
