Josh Daniels can't re-work his magic from moments ago as an easy cross ends up well behind Robbie Hemfrey's goal.

Composed headed clearance over his own crossbar from Mason Hancock keeps TNS at bay.

Declan McManus' well-won header ripples the side-netting.
It's a fine cross in from Josh Daniels. More of that and TNS might snatch an equaliser here.

Another double change from TNS manager Craig Harrison.
Polish forward Adrian Cieslewicz and ex-Dundee defender Jordan Marshall replace Jordan Williams and Rory Holden.

Leo Smith goes down clutching his face after a coming together with Nikolay Todorov.
It's getting a little heated in Falkirk now...

Adam Frizzell curls one wide from a tight angle after receiving a one-two from his own corner.
Would've been a stunner if executed to perfection.

Just when you want an experienced striker. Such a big moment in a big game. You can see the relief.
Josh Pask knows he's made a mistake, it's clumsy from him.
Todorov composes himself. It was never in doubt.
Nikolay Todorov
Tidy, tidy penalty from Todorov.
Connor Roberts goes the right way, but the spot kick perfectly finds the bottom corner.
Airdrie now lead with just over 20 minutes to play.
The New Saints 1-1 Airdrieonians
TNS defender Josh Pask fouls Airdrie substitute Josh O'Connor.
Silly foul to give away as O'Connor heads out of the penalty area.
The New Saints 1-1 Airdrieonians
Connor Roberts appears to lash out at Dean McMaster from a corner, but the referee misses it and play goes on.
That does not stop McMaster from giving the man with a whistle an earful first.
The New Saints 1-1 Airdrieonians
Liam McStravick is walking off here rather than been stretchered off. So, that's good news.
But his race is run. The TNS backline will be thankful; the Northern Irishman caused them nothing but trouble in the first half.
Fulham loanee Chris Donnell is on to replace the injured forward.
The New Saints 1-1 Airdrieonians
Liam McStravick goes down with what looks like a bad one.
He's writhing around on the ground whilst holding his knee and the referee immediately called on the physios.
Likely a third Airdrie sub to come here, but we'll wait and see.
The New Saints 1-1 Airdrieonians
TNS pepper the Airdrie box with crosses but nothing comes of it.

Brad Young can't keep his balance and heads well, well over.
Sad state of affairs for that effort to be worthy of posting about.
Bring back the entertainment on show in the first half please, Mr. Script Writer.
The New Saints 1-1 Airdrieonians
A second change for Airdrieonians.
Hibernian loanee Josh O'Connor is on for Gavin Gallagher.

Young is frustrated.
They're not playing it forward quick enough. He's at his best when running down the wing.
Airdrie are doing their job. They're taking the sting out of the game.
The New Saints 1-1 Airdrieonians
Brad Young shows his vexation at not getting better service going forward.
Neither side are doing much to keep up the quality, or excitement levels, of the first half.

It's been a scrappy start to the second half.
Craig Harrison will be happy with his team's passing, but it has been scrappy so far in this second half.
