I've been Mosope Ominiyi, thanks for joining me tonight. Stay tuned to the website for my full match report, as well as reaction from Drogheda vs. Shamrock Rovers - with a surprise result in the Premier Division tonight. Until next time, goodnight!

FULL-TIME! SHELBOURNE INTO THE FAI CUP FINAL! Waterford 0-1 Shelbourne, the visitors are yet to concede in the competition and Danny Searle's side didn't do much in their attempts to end that statistic tonight - the most disappointing part about their display.

Boyd is booked now, for attempting to tackle the ball with his head... Waterford get forward now, Sobowale heads across goal and the fans shout for a penalty! Those vehement appeals in the stands are ignored though.

The fourth official signals for three minutes' stoppage-time to be added on here. Any late drama? Or as the game continues to peter out, this is just a formality now?

Shelbourne fans serenading Duff with their chant now, as Waterford are getting edgy and the ball isn't really advancing any further than the halfway line...

Aodh Dervin coming on, a pair of fresh legs - replacing JJ Lunney now. He's worked his socks off and honestly, I'm surprised he's lasted so long after looking worse for wear before the hour mark.

A battle of the no. 2's and Power fouls JR Wilson on the byline before angrily kicking the ball away. It's been that sort of evening for the fullback. Half surprised he escaped a booking for dissent!

Coyle makes his presence felt again in midfield, this time charging forward on a pressure-relieving run as Waterford are pumping players forward in search of the all-important equaliser. I'm hearing he's been plagued by injury this season, otherwise he'd definitely be a regular with intelligent passages of play like this.

Ten minutes to go, can Waterford take this to extra-time? Will Shels hold on for a famous away victory?

Lunney, who I thought was struggling with a knock earlier, makes an important block as Patterson and Quitirna combine from the former's corner. Still 1-0 as the clock continues ticking down.

Taylor is booked now for a clumsy challenge, perhaps harsh, which again stops play and allows Shels to get players forward. Duff meanwhile has told a few players to get warm down the touchline.

The match's stop-start nature will suit Shelbourne nicely, even with their slender lead - it's eating up the clock.

Richard Taylor replaces the already-booked Shane Griffin, as it appears as though Waterford are changing to a three-at-the-back formation now. For context, they began the afternoon with a 4-3-3.

Moylan tries to dance his way into the area... nope. Waterford defend that half-chance well though.

Summing up their game really.. Patterson's second set-piece floats over everyone and Shelbourne can clear their lines.

Free-kick in a dangerous position as JR Wilson - who protests his innocence - can't stop himself bundling into a Waterford player... Patterson forces a Brendan Clarke save over the crossbar, corner to come.

Shane Farrell off, Jack Moylan - who isn't 100% fit either - replacing him.

Lunney appears unable to continue after sustaining a knock following a 50-50 challenge, changes are coming shortly.

Smith receives treatment and is okay to continue, as Coyle hits a sweet strike and forces Martin into another stop before Boyd - offside - fires wide moments later.

Griffin is the first player into the referee's book for a late sliding tackle on Smith. Can't have any complaints.

Good work from Patterson, who advances into the box with a jinking run and gets the Waterford crowd on their feet - he had Shelbourne defenders scrambling to stop him, pressure on the winger sees the ball eventually go out for a goal-kick though.

Kick-off! No changes by either side at the break, still 1-0 to Shelbourne as the second-half gets underway but this cup tie hangs in the balance.

HT! Waterford 0-1 Shelbourne. Niall O'Keeffe has a powerful, long-distance effort repelled with a timely block before the referee blows his whistle for half-time, a few seconds early as he's seen enough. Shels go into it with a slender lead and deservedly so, after a promising early spell by the hosts - thanks to Molloy's masterful finish.

The fourth official signals for just one minute of stoppage time at the end of this first-half, Waterford coming forward now...

Wish I had more in the way of action to describe, but both sides are struggling to retain possession and this half has become a scrappy one - the wet, windy conditions undoubtedly a contributing factor there.

Baptiste's hoofed clearance isn't strong enough and Shane Farrell happily takes charge, before a timely block saves the hosts' blushes in their own area once more.

More contentious officiating decisions, argy-bargy distracting you from the fact that Waterford are fighting a losing battle and need to grab a foothold in this match before long.

Byrne, who was inches from doubling Shels' lead a few minutes earlier, elicits a loud roar from the visiting supporters after a thunderous clearance as Waterford hoof the ball forward.

Killian Cantwell this time produces a well-timed, important block, just as Boyd shapes to shoot in the area. Corner comes of nothing.

He gets down and off his line quickly to thwart Boyd as he bares down on goal, after Baptiste delays... before Shels have a Luke Byrne header cannon back off the woodwork! Waterford get a bit of fortune there.

BIG SAVE TO KEEP IT 1-0! Martin thwarts Boyd after a costly Alex Baptiste mistake!

Chance! Shane Griffin, head in his hands, looks in disbelief after blazing a promising opportunity high and wide after a well-worked move down the other end. Should've got that on target, at the very least.

Confirmation of that injury-enforced change now: Idowu off, Yassine En-Neyah replaces him.

GOAL! Right on cue, there it is - a fantastic first-time strike by Gavin Molloy! Arrowed into the far corner, and Shelbourne snatch the lead just like that.

Shelbourne look threatening in possession, zipping the ball about nicely in the middle third. Yet to test Martin in the hosts' goal though.

Another underwhelming Power cross, Roland Idowu subsequently has a try from distance as the ball is cleared only as far as him... but looks to be limping.

Mark Coyle's sloppy pass is profited upon and Waterford again find themselves in a dangerous position, probing with Phoenix Patterson at the forefront... he goes down under an apparent challenge from the midfielder on the edge of the box, referee waves play on though and danger averted for now.

A few ticky-tack fouls being committed by both early on, this match is there for the taking and the players know as much.

Power is released by a well-executed pass, charges down the byline and crosses into the area... but his subsequent delivery leaves a lot to be desired, flying straight into Brendan Clarke's gloves.

Kick-off! Waterford kicking from right to left and eventually get us underway.

Waterford boss Danny Searle said he wanted the fans to be their 12th man today, and if this reception is anything to go by... can't ask for much more. A minute's applause in the centre circle before KO first.

Kick-off just under five minutes now as the two sides emerge from the tunnel, a raucous - wet - afternoon and it'll be interesting to see how Shels settle in the early going away from home here.

Here's your warning now... if, as always, you fancy some pre-match reading to get in the mood for Waterford-Shelbourne (4.45pm KO), be sure to check the article tab for my match preview before it disappears soon!

Derry City will await the winner, after a 2-1 win over Treaty United. Rory Morrow's been following the action at the Brandywell today, first-half goals from Jamie McGonigle and Brandon Kavanagh have ensured any potential semi-final upset has been avoided by the Premier Division outfit.

My name's Mosope Ominiyi and I'll be delivering the action from what promises to be a rowdy RSC this evening, kick-off in just under an hour's time. Team news filtering through shortly.

Good afternoon and welcome to this afternoon's live minute-by-minute commentary, as Waterford face Shelbourne in the second of today's FAI Cup semi-finals. Both sides know they're just 90 minutes away from a spot in next month's Final with a 2022-23 Europa Conference League berth in the offing for that showpiece event.
