That was the most frantic period of the game we've had so far. Exactly what we wanted from these two teams.

Here's hoping the intensity stays high to set up an engrossing finale.

Another Louis Moult header, another Harry Sharp save. This one was more routine than the stop at the start of the half.

Jim Goodwin looks to shuffle the pack as Chris Mochrie replaces Jordan Tillson.

Big, big moment.

I think Jakubiak has to take it the other way, onto his left foot and into the middle of the goals.

Too much happening!

Alex Jakubiak has the chance to finish, instead choosing to try and get round Jack Walton unsuccessfully. Big chance that.

These Dunfermline counters are so much more dangerous than their forays forward first half.

Matty Todd gets in behind and looks to square it, but Kevin Holt is there to deal with it. Some shouts for a penalty, but think it would have been harsh.

A yellow for me is a step too far.

He gets loads of the ball - whether it's even a foul is debatable.

Ewan Otoo goes in the book for a swipe on Craig Sibbald.

The Dunfermline defender doesn't even think it should have been a free-kick.

Josh Edwards' turn to come charging forward and try his luck.

It fizzes wide as the game ramps up in temperature. More like it. troops!

Offfffttttt. Alex Jakubiak is through on goal but the flag is up.

Very, very tight.

Dunfermline going for the kill? They make a change up top as Alex Jakubiak replaces Craig Wighton.

There's also a double change for Dundee United, with goalscorer Kai Fotheringham off with Tony Watt and replaced by Mathew Cudjoe and Declan Glass.

Important to note that that's just the sixth goal Dundee United have conceded in the league this season.

Can Jim Goodwin's men find a response?

What's Owen Moffat's reward for the equaliser?

A perch on the bench. He's replaced by Matty Todd.

Declan Gallagher slips, and makes Moffat's mind up for him, but once he gets in it's a lovely finish.

This boy is in the wars every week.

Sam Fisher flies into the post as he tries to clear a United corner, holding his shoulder in some pain. Perhaps worse on first viewing (and hearing), but he's a trooper.

Harry Sharp called into action early doors and he's more than equal to the task.

A brilliant United press allows Glenn Middleton to cross to Louis Moult, whose header is kept out by a brilliant stop.

I tell you what, it's clumsy.

There's no need for Declan Gallagher to be going anywhere near him.

The home crowd REALLY aren't happy.

Declan Gallagher has two hands on Lewis McCann and the Dunfermline man goes down.

He maybe goes down too easily, but questions have to be asked as to what Gallagher is up to there. Needless.

That knock to Deniz Mehmet means he won't come out for the start of the second half.

Back under way, with Harry Sharp taking the spot between the sticks.

If anyone wants an update on the spider's whereabouts, I'm afraid I can't provide one.

No idea where it's gone, which is arguably worse.
