Strong penalty appeal for a handball infringement from the Portadown fans, though the protests from the players on the field aren't so strong.

Rory Donnelly squanders a clear opportunity to add a fifth, dragging his effort wide after finding himself in acres of space.

The former Glentoran man should have done better after working himself into such a promising position.

That sums up Glenavon's afternoon.

The ball falls to David McDaid inside the box, but the Glenavon attacker gets the ball tangled between his feet and totally misses the ball as he tries to shoot.

It hasn't been the Lurgan Blues day at all, despite possibly being the better side in the first half at least.

There will be four minutes of additional time.

A tired lunge from Sean Brown on Darragh McBrien sees him go into the book. The Blues will look to see this one out with just three plus stoppage time remaining.

Joe Gormley does get his hat-trick, heading home from close range for Cliftonville's fourth.

Final change for the Reds as Axel Piesold replaces Rory Hale.

Chances wise, there hasn't been a lot to talk about in the last five minutes but there is another substitution for the away side with Adam Towe replacing Tiernan Kelly.

Dylan King can't capitalise on a golden opportunity, heading wide after Ryan Markey's deflection fell perfectly for the substitute following a Dungannon corner.

A chance to reduce the deficit goes begging for the hosts.

Watch Dylan Connolly fire into an empty net to extend Glentoran's lead against Glenavon.

Stephen O'Donnell handles the ball and receives a second yellow card.

Ballymena think they should have a penalty for hand ball as Scot Whiteside blocks Oisin Devlin's cross.

However, all they get from Declan Hassan is a yellow card for Ben Kennedy. He doth protest too much!

Two good saves in quick succession from Aaron McCarey. The first from a Mark Surgenor header from close range, the ball then found its way to Kyle Cherry on the edge of the box and his effort was pushed around the post by a diving McCarey save.

More changes at Stangmore Park as Rodney McAree refreshes his line-up - Dylan King and Grant Hutchinson enter the fray, replacing Cahal McGinty and James Knowles.

Kieran Offord's evening is over as he is replaced by youngster Brandon Downey.

Change for Portadown, with Jamie McDonagh coming on for Josh Ukek.

The bookings are level with Lewis Francis the next to be cautioned.

Yellow card for Baris Altintop for a foul on Paul Heatley.

Very similar to the first goal, no one picks him up in the box. I don't know how many superlatives you can give Gormley. He ages like a fine wine.
