It's good night from us then, after the first half of this semi-final between these two promotion-chasing Rovers.

They'll be back in action on Monday for the second leg in Nailsworth.

We'll be back tomorrow for plenty more play-off action, as the Championship clubs get in on the act. See you then!

Forest Green boss Mark Cooper feels his side were wrongly denied a penalty in the second half, when Emmanuel Monthe appeared to bring down Christian Doidge in the area.

"It's a blatant penalty and a red card as well," Cooper tells Sky Sports.

Tranmere boss Micky Mellon says he didn't see it from where he was.

Forest Green defender Nathan McGinley tells Sky Sports:

"It was obviously tough going down to 10 men so early but we're still in the tie and we've got to get the job done now on Monday."

The two sides also met in the National League promotion final at Wembley in 2017, when the Gloucestershire club won 3-1 to come up to League Two a year before Tranmere.

Two years on, and a division higher up the pyramid, they're still tough to separate.

Just one point separated them in the table at the end of the regular season and now just one goal separates them after half of their semi-final.

Tranmere goalscorer Ollie Banks tells Sky Sports:

"It's tough against 10 men. They defended for their lives and they defended well.

"We'll go there [on Monday], work hard and hopefully we'll pull through."

Ollie Banks' long-range cracker separates these sides after that first leg.

They'll go again in Gloucestershire on Monday night.

The first leg of this tie ends with Tranmere 1-0 up, but Forest Green will be pretty happy with that, given they played more than 75 minutes with 10 men.

It's still in the balance...

Tranmere's Jake Caprice accidentally knocks the ball out of play, ending a relatively promising Tranmere attack, and Forest Green will have a chance to see the rest of four minutes of stoppage time out now.

John: Far from ideal, but still would fancy us overturning a 1 goal deficit at home.

Rodney: Tranmere need a second goal. Their fan base deserves third tier football. (This from a Northampton Town fan)

Can Tranmere get a second goal in the dying moments of this first leg, or will the 10 men hold on?

It's one-way traffic but it's hard to list too many really clear-cut second-half chances that the home side have had.

Connor Jennings goes down in the area but the referee feels it was a fair challenge from Forest Green's Lee Collins.

The away side bring on Paul Digby for midfielder Reece Brown, with just over a minute left of normal time now.

All of Tranmere's outfield players are camped in the Forest Green half now, looking to add to their advantage, but the 10 men from Gloucestershire are still digging in for now...

The visitors win their first corner of the game, but Tranmere scramble the ball clear from the penalty spot.

Richard: FGR have become our bogey team. We're due a win.

Even with 10 men after 15 minutes, Forest Green are making Tranmere work hard in this tie.

Tranmere's Emmanuel Monthe has another long-range effort for the home side, but this time his rising shot fizzes just over the bar.

The away side have defended well for large parts of this game, since going down to 10 men after just 15 minutes.

For the second time in this half, Forest Green are appealing for a penalty, but there's not anywhere near as much in this one as the earlier shout involving Christian Doidge.

This time, Doidge feeds George Williams inside the area and the substitute goes down, but I don't think that's a foul. He's either lost his balance or he's looking for it. Nothing given.

Harvey Gilmour comes on for the hosts, as goalscorer Ollie Banks gets a warm ovation from the home fans as he goes off.

Banks' powerful, long-range opener has Tranmere ahead in this tie so far.

David Perkins' downward header is very well saved by Forest Green keeper Lewis Ward, down low to his left. He's done well to hold that.
