    Eamon Fyfe - 86mins

    The away side extend their advantage!

    Ryan Mayse charges down the right flank before passing into the box for Eamon Fyfe, who makes no mistake from close range with acres of space.

  14. Postpublished at 21:29 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2024

    Cliftonville 1-0 Crusaders

    Jordan Stewart has looked like a real livewire since his introduction, this time beating Michael Glynn on the flank.

    However, his cross lacks the necessary precision, allowing David Odumosu to collect comfortably.

    It's all Crusaders in the closing stages.

    Ryan Mayse adds a quick second for the away side and it was a similar goal to the first just minutes ago!

    Shay McCartan connects with Lewis MacKinnon's clearance and Ballymena fail to clear the danger with McCartan playing the ball across to Mayse, who sends a strong strike into the back of the net against his former club.

  19. CLOSE!published at 21:24 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2024

    Cliftonville 1-0 Crusaders

    Robbie Weir delivers a dangerous cross into the danger zone, but Jordan Forsythe can't make the crucial connection.
