Sligo almost have the ball in the net from a corner but it's cleared off the line before it's worked back and John Mahon sees his header from back off the woodwork as both teams will have to settle for the draw.

Fantastic play and opportunity for the Bit O'Red. Kailin Barlow ran at the defence and found himself a shred of space but his effort whizzed past the base of the far post to Conor Kearn's relief.

Sligo have won a corner when a speculative long range effort took a touch of a red boot.

Shelbourne are beginning to grow as the noise levels are beginning to increase at Tolka Park.

3 Minutes time to be added here.

The game has settled down a little in terms of chances as both sides are beginning to grow into the game. Sligo edging the encounter for the last twenty minutes.

Morahan has dragged the sides level. Sligo had been growing more into the game in recent minutes but a half cleared corner dropped on the edge of the box and the Leitrim man made no mistake hitting the target from range to equalise.

A glorious opportunity for the home side as Danny Lafferty plays a poor back pass straight to the feet of Jack Moylan who just can't beat Luke McNicholas who has kept his team in the game.

Almost an opportunity for Frank Liivak but Conor Kearns sweeps up well to nullify the threat.

Pinajker has been in the wars for the last 15 minutes, he's upended now. Boyd has picked up a yellow for the challenge.

Sligo have managed to apply some pressure forcing three corners in as many minutes as they threaten to get themselves back in this game.

Will Fitzgerald has the first meaningful effort for Sligo. A loose ball drops to the midfielder and he has a crack from 40 yards. He has the keeper scrambling but a touch around the post from Kearns is enough to keep the ball out of the net.

An early sub for Shels as Mattie Smith can't shake off an awkward landing after a challenge with John Mahon.

Pinajker almost makes amends when he connects with a corner but his powerful effort goes marginally over the bar.

Shels are ahead. Mattie Smith has benefited from a calamity in the defence for the visitors. Nando Pinajker didn't deal with the long ball well and it appeared to be running out for a corner. Sean Boyd gambled and managed to get to the line ahead of the ball and simply rolled the ball back to Smith who placed it in the near bottom corner despite a number of defenders attempting to close the opportunity down.

An early word with the referee for Mark Coyle as he upends Max Mata around the half way line.

We are up and running as Damien Duff's Shel's side look to make it four games unbeaten this evening.
