Nick Walsh waves away strong claims for a Falkirk penalty after the ball appears to strike the arm of Robbie Fraser inside the box. The man in black was having none of it.
Livi boss David Martindale then makes the first change of the night after a hour played, with Montano being replaced by Yengi.

Some slack passing by the home defence allows Falkirk to drive forward and only a last-gasp challenge by McGowan denies Agyeman a clear sight of the target. Livingston very sloppy in possession.

David Martindale has sent out his substitutes to warm up. And with the likes of Reece McAlear and Teti Yengi to call upon it may not be too long before he makes a call.

Falkirk on the ascendency at the start of the second half but little threat on the home goal so far.

It's honours even at the break with neither Livingston or Falkirk doing enough to find their way to goal.
And if the scoreline remains as it is after 90 minutes it may be one where both managers will be content!

Stephen Kelly is the first person to find his way into the notebook of referee Nick Walsh after a thumping tackle on Liam Henderson.
The Falkirk midfielder certainly felt that one!

A solo run and shot from Agyeman has Livingston keeper Jerome Prior at full stretch to tip the ball away for a corner. Best effort so far from Falkirk.

The hosts have one back!
Nathan Shaw picks up on the right, beats his man to get into the box and sends his low shot in the bottom corner.

It’s certainly not been a classic opening 30 minutes but that's hardly surprising given what's at stake.
Montano has looked the brightest of the home players with a couple of close efforts.
For Falkirk, the pace of Agyeman is causing concern for the Livingston defence but so far they have held firm.
