Larne earn a free kick in a dangerous position 25 yards from goal after Shay McCartan needlessly nudges Chris Gallagher over.

It looks to favour the left-footed Andy Ryan but instead Mark Randall steps up and curls a right-footed effort over the crossbar.

Larne have certainly started the second period with much more impetus.

Can they top it off by finding the opening goal of this game?

Dylan Sloan and Mark Randall warm the palms of Aaron McCarey in the opening minutes of the second period.

Clearly Gary Haveron's half-time instructions are filtering through to his players.

Almost the opening goal with less than 60 seconds of the second half played as Tomas Cosgrove crosses from the right and Sean Graham arrives with a powerful header which Aaron McCarey dives to his left to push away before the ball is scrambled away.

Carrick Rangers beat Ballinamallard United 3-0 to seal their spot in the Irish Cup quarter-finals

Referee Shane McGonigle does everyone a favour by bringing a tedious opening 45 minutes to an end at Inver Park.

You would like to think this game still has several gears to find in the second period.

Larne's Andy Ryan picks up the first booking of the game for a foul on Lee Chapman on the touchline.

He is followed into Shane McGonigle's book seconds later by Larne boss Gary Haveron as the home side's sense of frustration grows.

The fourth official indicates two minutes of additional time.

Portadown's Shay McCartan is clearly brought down in midfield but referee Shane McGonigle instead awards a free kick the other way.

Fourth official Stewart Long has the unenviable task of trying to explain that one to Portadown boss Niall Currie on the touchline.

Ards beat Moyola Park 3-1 to book their place in the Irish Cup quarter-finals.

Portadown's Josh Ukek has been a lively performer in the opening half-hour.

He attempts to go the long way around Sean Graham in the Larne penalty area and eventually goes down under a challenge.

There are cries for a penalty from the Portadown fans at the other end of the pitch but referee Shane McGonigle instead awards a free kick to Larne.

Larne break Portadown's offside trap from a free kick but Tiarnan O'Connor's header from Mark Randall's delivery is saved comfortably by Aaron McCarey.

Larne have been tidy on the ball but without really asking any questions of the Portadown defence.

Mark Randall tries to change that with a clever chipped through ball with the outside of his foot but it's just too far ahead of Andy Ryan for the striker to make anything of it.

There's a rueful shake of the head from manager Niall Currie on the touchline.
