    No surprise to see Jim McGuinness and his backroom team deep in discussion during a break in play for Ciaran Thompson's injury.

    Donegal have been hit by an almighty Kerry burst in this opening 20 minutes.

    It's hard to stop this Kerry team when they get rolling. Armagh and Tyrone found that out the hard way.

  4. Donegal 0-8 Kerry 0-13

    Make that four! It's Murphy again as Kerry spill possession.

  5. Donegal 0-7 Kerry 0-13

    Three-in-a-row for Donegal as Michael Murphy curls over. They have settled.

  6. Donegal 0-6 Kerry 0-13

    Conor O'Donnell with another and Donegal hit back-to-back scores for the first time.

    However, they are dealt a blow as Ciaran Thompson hobbles off with Daire O Baoill coming in.

  7. Donegal 0-5 Kerry 0-13

    Half a sniff of goal for Donegal but they have to be content with Oisin Gallen's third point of the half.

  8. Donegal 0-4 Kerry 0-13

    A Donegal counter initially breaks down but Kerry are punished for overcarrying. Michael Murphy can't convert as his shot comes down off the post.

  9. Donegal 0-4 Kerry 0-13

    Mickey Harte
    Former Derry & Tyrone boss on BBC Two NI

    Donegal's collective defending isn't working here. Kerry's key men are getting too much ball.

  10. Donegal 0-4 Kerry 0-13

    A turnover and David Clifford punishes with his first single of the day. Donegal just can't get a foothold.

  11. Donegal 0-4 Kerry 0-12

    Kerry with three two-pointers early on. They are certainly looking to ram home their early advantage.

  12. Donegal 0-4 Kerry 0-12

    Brendan McCole takes down David Clifford outside the arc, which presents Seanie O'Shea the opportunity to kick for two. He duly obliges.

  13. Donegal 0-4 Kerry 0-10

    Mickey Harte
    Former Derry & Tyrone boss on BBC Two NI

    You're speechless. It's getting difficult for Donegal.

    King of the arc David Clifford now has 13 two-pointers in this year's championship.

    A special talent.

  15. Donegal 0-4 Kerry 0-10

    Oisin Gallen with a Donegal score and a badly-needed on at that.

  16. Donegal 0-3 Kerry 0-10

    Donegal struggling to win primary possession and Kerry plunder another score with Sean O'Brian notching his second of the day.

  17. Donegal 0-3 Kerry 0-9

    Another two-pointer for David Clifford. He is living up to his pre-match billing.

  18. Donegal 0-3 Kerry 0-7

    A first wide of the game and it's from Kerry's Paudie Clifford.

  19. Donegal 0-3 Kerry 0-7

    Kerry have started this game ferociously, winning plenty of breaking ball and attacking at the heart of Donegal at speed.

    David Clifford's two-pointer really got the Kerry fans out of their seats, too. A brilliant score.

  20. Clifford for two!

    Donegal 0-3 Kerry 0-7

    A little bit of history as we have the first two-pointer in an All-Ireland final and it's David Clifford to get it. Kerry are flying.
