    GOAL- Glentoran 2-0 Crusaderspublished at 20:28 GMT 4 November
    20:28 GMT 4 November

    David Fisher (42 mins)

    Declan Devine will certainly be the happier manager now!

    Jordan Jenkins does well to control the ball on the left-hand side of the box before crossing to the onrushing David Fisher, who fires past Musa Dibaga.

    That was a nice goal from the Glens.

    Glentoran 1-0 Crusaders

    Unless there is some late first half drama here, Declan Devine will be the happier manager at the break.

    However, he will be frustrated that his side haven't taken advantage of any of the other chances they have had.

    10 minutes to go until the break.

    Will Jonny Russell's strike give the home side the lead at half-time or will we see another goal?

    After some promising play down the right flank, David Fisher's cross into the box is a poor one and is quickly cleared.

    Glentoran 1-0 Crusaders

    Jordan Jenkins evades his marker and connects with Christie Pattison's cross, but his shot pings off the outside of the post.

    Apart from the Crusaders chance not long after the opener, it has been a really dominant display from Glentoran during the opening half an hour of the game.

    Glentoran 1-0 Crusaders

    Ryan Cooney's free-kick is inches wide of the left-hand post.

    It looked like Musa Dibaga would have had it covered if the shot had been on target, but that was another good chance for the Glens.

    Christie Pattisson's shot is deflected, but Crusaders fail to clear their lines properly with Liam Burt then gaining possession.

    However, Odhran McCart clears his shot off the line to deny the home side from doubling their lead.

    Glentoran 1-0 Crusaders

    David Fisher's delivery into the box is too heavy for anyone else in a green shirt.

    Glentoran 1-0 Crusaders

    Crusaders have been struggling this season to find consistency and to concede after just 44 seconds tonight will frustrate Declan Caddell.

    Can they respond?
