    Catalans 10-20 Leeds

    It's all over and a fraught play-off eliminator comes to an end at the Stade Gilbert Brutus.

    Leeds go through to next week's Super League play-off semi-finals. Last year's Grand Finalists Catalans Dragons bow out of an ill-tempered game with just 11 players still on the field.

    Boos ring around the south of France. But Leeds have come from behind to win.

    Catalans 10-18 Leeds

    Well, barring a bizarre and thrilling turn of events, Leeds should see out the final few minutes of this play-off eliminator and seal their place in next week's Super League play-off semi-final.

    Richie Myler puts a kick in at the corner on the last tackle as they look to make an immediate impact, following Gil Dudson's sending off, but it's held up by Catalans.

    Gil Dudson, in his final home appearance for Catalans, is sent off for a headbutt on Aidan Sezer.

    Catalans 10-18 Leeds

    Gil Dudson has gone head first in a clash with Aidan Sezer.

    This has been a pretty ill-disciplined match. Could Catalans be reduced to 12 again?

    Mikolaj Oledzki seems to have picked up a knock soon after the restart, while Gil Dudson is off for a head injury assessment as both sides are temporarily depleted due to injury.

    We're entering the final stages of this match. Catalans are still down to 12 and will only have 10 minutes at full strength to force a comeback.

    TRY: Catalans 10-18 Leedspublished at 61 mins

    Liam Sutcliffe, goal Zak Hardaker

    Liam Sutcliffe scores his hat-trick and it comes in some style.

    Aidan Sezer kicks on the last as Leeds pile the pressure on Catalans, and he swiftly picks up the ball and bends down to ground it unopposed.

    It goes upstairs to check for offside but it's given.

    Zak Hardaker adds the two. Is this the decisive score?

    Catalans 10-12 Leeds

    This is a game that's being played mostly in midfield right now.
