Coleraine lose possession in midfield and Larne counter attack at speed.

Benji Magee races into the penalty area but blasts his shot into the side netting from a narrow angle.

Matthew Fitzpatrick almost gets his head on a delicate Kyle McClean cross but again can't quite make any contact.

Very open game at Windsor Park with both teams looking threatening on the break.

A third corner for Larne but Daniel Bent's header loops over the crossbar.

Now it's Chris Shields' turn to go in Tony Clarke's book as the Linfield captain brings Sean McAllister down in a dangerous area.

The resulting free-kick comes to nothing as Chris Johns easily gathers James Knowles' shot.

They nearly do!

Lewis Ridd is forced to make a diving save down to his left to palm Reece Neale's free-kick away.

Bangor can't create a chance through the resulting corner.

What a chance for Coleraine to open the scoring!

Levi Ives threads a clever ball through to Matthew Shevlin who beats the offside trap, but with just the keeper to beat, last year's Golden Boot winner cracks his left-footed effort off the woodwork.

A let off for Larne.

Bangor are awarded a free-kick just outside the box after Tiarnan Mulvenna is brought down by Rory Hale.

It is the away side who have looked dangerous so far through set pieces but can the home side make this one count?

Sean McAllister is the first player in referee Tony Clarke's book.

He is cautioned for a late challenge on Josh Archer.

Approaching half an hour gone and it remains scoreless, but no less intriguing because of that.

Bit of a tactical battle going on between the respective managers as they look for a breakthrough.

Kieran Offord's cross is almost met on the head by strike partner Matthew Fitzpatrick, but he can't quite get anything on it as the ball flashes agonisingly wide.

Any sort of contact there from Fitzpatrick and it's almost certainly a goal.

You're not going to come much closer than that!

Bangor fail to clear Micheal Glynn's free-kick with Ryan Curran's shot deflected into the path of Odhran Casey, whose powerful strike rattles the crossbar.

That is the second time that the Reds have been denied by the woodwork in the opening 30 minutes.

Adebayo Fapetu tries to find Rory Hale in the box, but Gareth Deane reads the situation well and collects the ball.

Ben Hall rises highest and gets on the end of a Kirk Millar free-kick, but his header is a weak one that Declan Dunne deals with routinely.

It took 15 minutes or so, but Linfield are carrying a threat of their own now after Dungannon's early pressure.

Tiarnan O'Connor in acres of space gets his shot away but it takes a deflection of Lyndon Kane and Larne have their first corner.

Joel Cooper, presented with the chance to shoot following a stray Larne pass, does just that, but it's a comfortable save for Rohan Ferguson.

Kirk Millar catches the Dungannon defence out with an early cross intended for Matthew Fitzpatrick, but Danny Wallace makes a perfectly timed tackle to stop Fitzpatrick from getting a shot away.

Superb defending from Wallace.

Bangor have been disciplined in their shape and carry their own threat at the other end.

Ben Arthurs beats Jack Keaney to connect with Reece Neale's long delivery, but Arthurs can't get a shot away before the Reds get back and clear their lines.

Arthurs will regret not having a go quicker there.

Mark Randall, under severe pressure in his own penalty area, is forced to kick the ball out of play on the far side.

One notable aspect of Coleraine's play in the opening quarter of an hour is their eagerness to press on to the Larne defenders.

Can they keep it up for the remaining 75 minutes, though?

Jim Magilton's side look dangerous through set pieces with Kyle Owens quickly heading Cliftonnville's latest corner to safety.
