Rory Hale finds Michael Glynn in space on the edge of the box, but Sean Carlin reacts quickly for the Lurgan Blues, throwing himself in front of Glynn's first-time effort to make the block.

Callumn Morrison looks lively down the right-hand side for Linfield as they go in search of the opening goal.

Linfield's January signing from Falkirk has had a couple of speculative efforts from outside the area, with the latest going just wide of the far upright from 25-yards out.

The Blues are huffing and puffing.

It's safe to say that Cian O'Malley's throw-ins are impressive and he delivers a long throw into a busy box.

However, once again, a Carrick man had strayed offside.

A moment of worry for Jim Magilton as Ryan Curran stays down after challenging for possession.

The medical team are on the pitch to attend to the striker, who has netted four times in the league this season.

Linfield have Loughgall pinned back on their own 18-yard box now after a spell of sustained pressure.

Jamie Mulgrew has made a difference since coming on in midfield as he looks to unlock the visitors' tight defence.

Penalty to Ballymena...

Len O'Sullivan's long throw causes problems in the Reds' defence as Barney McKeown attacks the near post, but the defender - who scored in the recent Irish Cup tie - can't direct his glancing header on target.

Here is how Andrew Mitchell opened the scoring for Dungannon at Stangmore Park with a cool finish.

Nathan Gartside is called into action as he makes a smart save to deny Matthew Fitzpatrick from opening the scoring.

Ethan McGee's cross is met on the head by Fitzpatrick at the back post, with Gartside reacting well to punch clear.

Kieran Offord follows up and strikes on the rebound, but his effort is blocked.

Great chance for Parsons, it was out of nothing it just hit something and bounced off the goalkeeper's shin and into Parsons. It presented a great opportunity that Parsons wasn't expecting and he put it wide. Normally the pitch at Mourneview is in great nick, but there isn't much grass today.

Declan Dunne sticks his foot out to deflect Paul Heatley's strike away after the forward had found himself through on goal. However he was offside so, if he had found the back of the net, the effort wouldn't have counted.

Stephen Baxter will be frustrated with how many times his side's chances have been halted due to them being offside in the opening 15 minutes.

A glorious chance goes begging for the north Belfast side to take the lead.

Tadhg Ryan makes a mess of a routine collection, presenting possession to Ryan Curran. Curran picks out Alex Parsons, but with Ryan scrambling, the midfielder's attempted lob drifts wastefully over.

That should have been the opener.

It has to be said, Loughgall are having the better of the opening 15 minutes of action at Windsor Park.

The Villagers are carrying a huge threat every time they go forward on the counter attack.

Linfield might be enjoying the majority of the ball, but are yet to do anything with it.

Michael O'Connor links up smartly with Davy McDaid, who bursts through on goal for the hosts.

Jack Keaney is alert to the danger and makes a crucial intervention for the Reds, his block deflecting off McDaid's legs and behind for a goal-kick.

Rory Hale threads a clever pass between Barney McKeown and David Toure to Michael Glynn on the left flank.

The defender looks to deliver into the area, but his cross is turned behind for a corner.
