84 mins: Serhat Tasdemir broke the offside trap to go through clean on goal. He had the option of passing to Eisa or Toney inside him, he picked out Eisa, who picked out the back of the net to make it 3-0

GOAL! 2-0 POSH

Moments after Dover hit the post, Posh double the lead - Frankie Kent prodding home from close range at the near post from Maddison's corner. That should be that.

DOVER GO CLOSE!

77 mins: Posh living dangerously here... Jack Munns hits the outside of the post with a stinging 20-yard drive after great work down the left by Nassim L'Ghoul

DOVER CHANCE!

61 mins: Dover enjoying more of the ball in the attacking third in the second half, and Pym has to be alert to keep out Will De-Havilland's header from a right-wing cross

POSH GO CLOSE AGAIN... but it's still only 1-0

58 mins: Great save from Dover keeper Worgan. Ivan Toney broke down the left, squared to Eisa who hit a good low shot from 15 yards, but Worgan was equal to it, getting down low to his right to turn it behind for a corner

ANOTHER CHANCE WASTED...

47 mins: Mo Eisa sent clear down the left wing. He looked offside but there was no flag. In on goal, Eisa should have squared to strike partner Toney who was unmarked in the middle of the six yard box, but he didn't. He went for the shot from a tight angle and his effort was well saved by Worgan

SECOND HALF UNDERWAY...

No changes from either manager

HT 1-0...

Will Posh be made to rue those missed chances?

ANOTHER CHANCE GOES BEGGING!

Posh should be out sight here...

44 mins: Marcus Maddison is fed in by Toney, ball on his left foot but he skies the chance from 12 yards out - Posh should be out of sight

BAD MISS!

39 mins: Posh should be 2-0 ahead... but what a miss from Mo Eisa. Ball in from the left by Dan Butler and it looked a tap in, but Eisa sliced his shot wide from eight yards out

TONEY CLOSE AGAIN...

23 mins: A sniff for Dover. Slack play at the back as Frankie Kent selles Christy Pym short with a pass-back, Ricky Modeste almost inches away from closing down Pym's clearance in the six yard box.

GOAL! Posh lead 1-0
