Aidan Sezer tries a kick into the corner as Leeds make chase but Catalans are wise to their efforts and regain the ball.

There's certainly more excitement to this game since that early Catalans try after the restart.

Both sides have now seen players fail head injury assessments.

Joe Chan has been ruled out of the rest of this game for Catalans, with Morgan Gannon also failing his HIA earlier on this evening.

We are back under way at Stade Gilbert Brutus.

A big half awaits.

Salford Red Devils take on Huddersfield in tomorrow's second Super League play-off eliminator.

Despite their small budget, the Red Devils defied expectations to reach the top six this season.

Their reward is a meeting with former boss Ian Watson, who led the Giants to third spot and the Challenge Cup final this season.

That Zak Hardaker kick wraps up the first half and Leeds take in an eight-point lead after Catalans had earlier led 4-0.

Work to do for the hosts.

Catalans, now back to full strength after Mitchell Pearce returned from the bin, get to within 10 metres before they run out of tackles.

Meanwhile, Morgan Gannon has failed his head injury assessment and won't be returning for Leeds.

Sam Tomkins adds the two and gives Catalans a four-point advantage against Leeds.

Impressive given they're a player down, with Mitchell Pearce still in the sin-bin for the time being.

There's a fair bit of distance, here, but Catalans are going for two once again.

Sam Tomkins stands over it.

Joe Chan comes off for Catalans having sustained a heavy hit himself.

The hosts gets things going soon after he walks from the field but then Leeds are penalised for offside on halfway.

Morgan Gannon comes off for the time being but that was a big hit from Gil Dudson.

Catalans work the ball deep into the Leeds half before the turnover, but on their return, Leeds knock-on on their own final tackle.

Morgan Gannon comes off worse in a charge from Gil Dudson, who picks up the ball for Catalans from the kick-off.

Gannon's night is surely over. He's very dazed indeed.

Sam Tomkins successfully kicks the first points of the night - and his 47th goal of the season - to nudge Catalans ahead.

However, how important will that Mitchell Pearce yellow card be? Can Leeds make their player advantage count before the break?

This is a highly charged game of rugby league and it's as edgy as you can get for a play-off eliminator.

Leeds started well but right now there's not a lot in this. But there's been a lot of stoppages.

Meanwhile, Catalans win a penalty in kicking range and Sam Tomkins has decided to go for two.

Catalans have Mitchell Pearce sent to the bin after he ran in on James Bentley, having shoved Michael McIlorum off the ball.

No sign of any card shown to Bentley or McIlorum, however.

A blow for Catalans, who had looked like they were growing into the game just before that happened.

Ben Garcia puts a neat kick in on the last tackle to the corner as Catalans attack, but Leeds regain the ball.

Meanwhile, there's another bit of afters - this time off the ball - following a clash between Mitchell Pearce, James Bentley and Michael McIlorum.

Dylan Napa once again puts in a robust, high challenge, this time on Tom Briscoe.

The Catalans prop is given a warning from referee James Child and play continues.

Catalans do keep Leeds out after another set and they break upfield with the home crowd slowly getting behind them.

Mitchell Pearce almost touches down under the sticks but he's held up at the last minute.

Better stuff from the hosts, who've looked a bit nervy in these opening stages.
