Penalty for Linfield!

Kieran Offord to take...

We're back under way at the Showgrounds.

Play resumes at Windsor Park for the second half.

Will there be any goals in the next 45 minutes?

One change at the break as Sean Brown replaces Kirk Millar for his Linfield league debut.

We are back under way.

Jim Magilton makes a change at the break with last year's top goalscorer Joe Gormley replacing Harry Wilson.

Glentoran boss Declan Devine said his players "gave absolutely everything" in their opening day 1-0 win against Portadown at Shamrock Park.

Full-back Danny Amos volleyed home from a superb Jordan Jenkins cross to score what proved to be the winner before half-time.

And Devine was delighted that his side were able to grind out a win in the absence of a number of first team regulars.

"Winning is absolutely the main thing. We had a lot of setbacks coming into the game," he told BBC Sport NI.

"Cammy Palmer's suspension from the play-off, injuries to Joe Thompson and Markus Kane Dylan (Connolly), and Christy Patterson being suspended, and yesterday we lost Pat Hoban."

"We lost David Fisher after a few minutes, which meant we had to change our shape. It's full testimony to the group because I don't think we played great by any stretch.

"There weren't any free-flowing combinations or attacking moves, but we found a way to win and dug in against a really good Portadown side."

Centre-back Kyle Owens is an unlikely first goalscorer for Bangor, but he is in the right place at the right time to tuck home the opener.

Carrick Rangers manager Stephen Baxter was thrilled with his team's composure in their comeback 4-3 win at Crusaders.

Trailing by three after 32 minutes, Baxter still felt his team could turn things around and they did just that in superb fashion.

Although it was far from the perfect performance, Baxter felt "the fans got full value for money" and the win was a good way to start the new season.

"It was a tremendous game of football for an opening game," he told BBC Sport NI.

"There was some tactical stuff that will drive me and the coaches mad, but on the while, you have to give tremendous credit to the players a 3-0 down to come back and win.

"I turned to the boys on the bench when the third goal went in and there was no panic. We were 3-0 down to Cliftonville here many a year ago when I was Crusaders' manager and won 4-3. No panic, find your way into the game and we did that.

"You have to have the confidence to build on things. We weren't tight enough in our defensive shape and they got through us too easily, so these are things we'll work on."

It's as you were at the Coleraine Showgrounds where it's fair to say defences have been on top.

The home side came closest to breaking the deadlock through last season's leading goalscorer Matthew Shevlin just after the half hour but his left foot effort cannoned off the woodwork.

The goal gives Bangor something to hold on to. I think Cliftonville need to change their approach, they have had lots of possession, but it has been too slow in their play. They need to introduce a faster tempo as their chances have come from set pieces.

Goalless at the break.

Kyle Owens can't believe his luck; he was in acres of space and has an easy finish.

Harry Wilson tries to clear Jack O'Mahony's cross into the box, but the clearance falls to Lewis Harrison, who sends a curling strike narrowly wide.

Just over five minutes to go until the break.
