Time to wrap up the live coverage for today. Both Donegal and Tyrone can take positives from the game although the Red Hands will have quite a long wait now before their opening qualifier. We're back on live text commentary street next Sunday for Cavan's game with Monaghan at Breffni Park. Have a good week.

"I always fancied Donegal but Tyrone brought intensity and quality to the game.

"Today's game had almost everything - not pretty football but everything else.

"Tyrone will go away from this with a lot of credibility."

Tyrone manager Mickey Harte: "We are very, very disappointed. We came here believing we could win it.

"The goal and point we conceded before half-time was crucial.

"We played with great passion today. We will challenge in the qualifiers and our season is far from over."

Tyrone have put up a stronger challenge than many pundits predicted but Donegal's little bit of composure and experience probably just swung the day.

This hard contest won't do Donegal's prospects any harm at all as they look forward to a game with Armagh on 14 June.

Tyrone have played well but it won't be easy to regroup as they face several weeks without a game before their opening qualifier.

Donegal boss Rory Gallagher: "Tyrone produced a massive performance but we were deserved victors.

"We played some great football, particularly in the first half, although we were hanging on a wee bit at the end.

"It was an absorbing game and a typical Ulster championship match."

After those two late scares, Donegal hold on to win by three.

Justin McMahon's high ball into the Donegal defence comes back off the crossbar but the home side are able to clear. One minute of injury-time left. Mattie Donnelly then fires a fierce shot just wide of Paul Durcan's left-hand post.

Michael Murphy's free-taking looks to be deciding this match as the skipper points a long-range effort from 45 metres. One minute of normal time left.

Tyrone's man advantage lasts only two minutes as Sean Cavanagh is dismissed following a black card challenge. Yellow and black equals red in gaelic football.

It was on the cards and Donegal are reduced to 14 men as midfielder Neil Gallagher is sent off after a second booking following a tangle with Sean Cavanagh, who is cautioned. There are six minutes of normal time left.

Darren McCurry misses a Tyrone free.

Murphy kicks a 21-metre free after Mickey O'Neill saves a Colm McFadden goal-effort with the advantage being played by Joe McQuillan for a jersey pull. Donegal two up.

Michael Murphy has been quiet thus far but he bashes over a superb free from distance with just over 13 minutes of normal time ahead. Donegal ahead again.

Eamonn McGurk: Tyrone certainly looking and playing like they believe they can win this!

Barry Tierney having a stormer in this half for Tyrone. Carrying loads of ball and is slippery enough to wriggle through a few tackles to find space. Tiernan McCann warming up and coming for Tyrone.

Karl Lacey becomes the sixth Donegal player to pick up a yellow card after a challenge on Sean Cavanagh.

McAliskey is making a big impact in this game as he strokes over a superb levelling point. Getting rather interesting here.

Tyrone keeper Mickey O'Neill makes a brilliant point-blank to prevent a McBrearty goal with Frank McGlynn firing the rebound wide. Could be a big moment in the contest.

Another McAliskey point cuts Donegal's lead to the minimum again.
