    Bangor 0-1 Dungannon Swifts

    Bangor have enjoyed a few minutes of keeping Dungannon pinned back deep inside their own half.

    Can they add a finishing touch to this spell of pressure?

    Jack O'Mahony's shot deflects off the body of Danny Wallace to set up another corner.

    Can Bangor do better from this one?

    Bangor 0-1 Dungannon Swifts

    Gael Bigirimana's quickly-taken free kick catches the Bangor defence napping and John McGovern gets in behind but James Taylor blocks the striker's effort with his feet.

    Good chance for Dungannon, though.

    Bangor 0-1 Dungannon Swifts

    Bangor force another corner but this time Reece Neale's delivery is plucked out of the air unopposed by Swifts keeper Declan Dunne.

    The Seasiders will be disappointed that they haven't posed more threat from set pieces.

    Bangor 0-1 Dungannon Swifts

    Adam Glenny stands up a lovely cross to the back post but Andrew Mitchell can only put his effort into the side netting.

    Dungannon are starting to turn the screw here in their pursuit of a second goal.

    Bangor 0-1 Dungannon Swifts

    Bangor force a corner but, frustratingly, Jack O'Mahony's delivery drifts over everyone and out of play beyond the far post.

    Cue a few groans from the Bangor support.

    Bangor finished the first half strongly - they look like they have found their game.

    Bangor 0-1 Dungannon Swifts

    Kyle Owens' own goal separates the sides at the interval at a blustery Seaview.

    Will that goal be enough for Dungannon to book their place in the final or can Championship leaders Bangor force their way back into the contest in the second period?

    Bangor 0-1 Dungannon Swifts

    A chance for Bangor as they work the ball wide to Scott McArthur whose cross finds the head of Ben Arthurs but Swifts defender Dean Curry gets a nick on the ball to deflect it behind.

    After a brief melee from the corner, Dungannon clear their lines.

    Bangor 0-1 Dungannon Swifts

    Bangor's Caomhan McGuinness plays a through ball over the top of the Dungannon defence which holds up in the wind and forces keeper Declan Dunne to rush outside his area to clear.

    He then collides with Bangor striker Ben Arthurs and referee Tony Clarke awards a free kick, much to the Swifts' relief.

    Bangor 0-1 Dungannon Swifts

    That Dungannon goal has taken the sting out of Bangor to an extent.

    The last 10 minutes has been a bit hectic with neither side really able to put their foot on the ball.

    Somewhat bizarrely, a CAT has run across the pitch at Seaview!

    That must be the modern-day equivalent of the Irish Cup final featuring a cockerel and a pig painted blue!

    Bangor are trying hard to get back into this game but they are getting little change from the Dungannon defence.
