    Crusaders 0-0 Cliftonville

    David Odumosu pulls off a stunning double save to keep the Reds in it!

    Offord's shot from a tight angle is brilliantly denied by Odumosu, who then somehow saves Stewart's follow-up.

    Incredible goalkeeping!

    Coleraine 0-1 Glenavon

    The home side are starting to build some momentum following the shock of going behind in the second minute.

    Jamie McGonigle, given time and space on the wing, tries his luck from distance but it's an easy save for Gareth Deane.

    The game has settled down now with two sets of midfielders who are battling it out for possession.

    Cliftonville just really need to get their foot in it and the one person you'd be looking at there is Ronan Doherty, he is a really, really good player and sets the tone.

  7. CLOSE!published at 15:15 British Summer Time 24 August 2024

    Coleraine 0-0 Glenavon

    Coleraine come close to levelling in the 12th minute.

    Jack Scott swings a corner from the near side towards the six yard line where Cameron Stewart meets it with a firm header.

    His effort is heading goal wards only for Gareth Deane to dive across to his right to palm the ball away to safety.

    A vital contribution from another former Coleraine player.

  8. Watch: Delight for McDaidpublished at 15:13 British Summer Time 24 August 2024

    Coleraine 0-1 Glenavon (L)

    Coleraine manager Dean Shiels certainly felt Glenavon's opener was offside but the linesman kept his flag down.

    Crusaders 0-0 Cliftonville

    Daniel Larmour whips a dangerous cross to the back post, seeking out Harry Franklin!

    The ball is headed clear, but only as far as Jarlaith O'Rourke.

    O'Rourke's cross looks promising, but Axel Piesold is there to clear the danger.

  11. Penaltypublished at 15:11 British Summer Time 24 August 2024

    Linfield 0 - 0 Loughall 0

    Linfield free kick in a dangerous area is blasted at the Loughgall wall and the ref shows no hesitation in pointing to the spot for a penalty.

    Dungannon Swifts 0-0 Ballymena United

    Great chance for Dungannon as Tomas Galvin's low cross from the left is brilliantly deflected over his own crossbar from inside the six yard box by Danny Lafferty with Leo Alves waiting to pounce.

  13. Postpublished at 15:09 British Summer Time 24 August 2024

    Crusaders 0-0 Cliftonville

    Joe Gormley sets the stage for Luke Conlan, just 12 yards from goal!

    Conlan's right-footed strike looks destined for the net, but a desperate deflection sends it behind for a corner.

    Dungannon Swifts 0-0 Ballymena United

    Dungannon's debutnat goalkeeper Patrick Solis Grogan miscues his clearance straight to Danny Lafferty.

    The former Northern Ireland international returns his effort first time but it doesn't have the power to trouble Solis Grogan

  15. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:08 British Summer Time 24 August 2024

    Linfield 0 - 0 Loughgall

    Loughgall almost got off to a fast start there.

    Euan East cross the ball in for no one in particular, but Jamie Rea throws a lazy leg at it and it looks as though the ball might creep over the goal line only to strike the post instead.

    Linfield looking bright early on, with Kirk Millar causing problems.

    Coleraine 0-1 Glenavon

    Just the start Glenavon boss Stephen McDonnell would have wanted, coming into this afternoon on the back of three successive defeats.

    Conversely, the goal appears to have unsettled the home side who are yet to gain a foothold in this game.

  17. 'McDaid looked well offside'published at 15:06 British Summer Time 24 August 2024

    Coleraine 0-1 Glenavon

    Tony Gorman

    Davy McDaid flicked it in with his heel and my first reaction was to look towards the linesman because he looked well offside.

    The lineman's position was right across, so he was very confident to keep the flag down, much to the dismay of Dean Shiels.

    Crusaders 0-0 Cliftonville

    Jonny Addis' last-ditch tackle denies Kieron Offord!

    The striker looks set to break the deadlock, but Addis launches into a perfectly timed slide, dispossessing Offord just as he shoots, turning the ball behind for a corner.

    Axel Piesold nearly stuns the crowd with a long-range rocket, but Jonny Tuffey's lightning-quick reflexes deny the midfielder!

    Davy McDaid (2 mins)

    What a return to the Showgrounds for Davy McDaid as he fires the visitors in front, flicking home from close range as the Coleraine defence failed to clear Niall Quinn's initial shot.
