Kirk Millar's initial corner disappoints, but his second bite of the cherry produces a pinpoint delivery that finds Euan East unmarked.

The defender makes good contact but directs his header straight at Aaron McCarey.

Loughgall lead at the break thanks to goals from Lewis Francis and Nathaniel Ferris.

Half-time in a niggly, tetchy encounter at the Showgrounds.

Not an awful lot by way of goalscoring chances - hopefully there's better to come in the second period.

Make that three chances for Jay Donnelly!

A corner from Danny Amos is punched clear by Nathan Gartside but only as far as Donnelly, who obviously wasn't expecting the danger to fall to him and fails to connect with the ball cleanly.

Dungannon so close to a third as Tomás Galvin sees his shot come off the inside of the post and bounce out. That could have all but sealed it going into the break.

Joel Cooper accelerates into the Portadown box, shifting the ball onto his left, but Lewis MacKinnon times his challenge perfectly to thwart the Blues' dangerman just as he pulls the trigger.

Excellent defending from the Ports' centre-back.

Matthew Snoddy lets with his right foot from 25 yards but the ball whistles past the post.

Jay Donnelly with another chance as we enter three minutes of additional time.

Dylan Connolly's cross takes a deflection and finds Donnelly in the box. However this time Nathan Gartside denies his on-target effort.

One additional minute to be played.

Into three minutes of added time at the end of the first half.

Chris Shields attempts to release Matthew Orr with an ambitious pass in behind, but Aaron McCarey reads the danger and claims confidently.

Minutes remaining of the first half, and you've got to feel Niall Currie will be the happier of the two men on the sideline.

Jay Donnelly finds space at the edge of the box but drags his low shot wide.

We're into the final minute of the first half.

Frustration rising among home supporters as we approach half-time.

Aimed mainly at the match officials, it must be said.

Danny Amos' resulting delivery is gathered by Nathan Gartside.

Barney McKeown, under no pressure, inexplicably concedes a corner.

Almost a disaster for the hosts as Jimmy Callacher's pass back to Tuffey carries a bit more power than the goalkeeper would like as he has to stretch his leg to get it away.

Jamie Rea is shown a yellow card for a tackle on Dylan Connolly and Glentoran now have a free-kick in a dangerous position.

Ballymena lose possession deep inside their own territory and Seanan Clucas threads a through ball to Paul Heatley, whose shot is beaten out by Sean O'Neill.

In a first half of few chances, the best couple have gone the way of the visitors.

Kirk Millar opts for a clever short free-kick to Joel Cooper, but the winger drags his long-range effort wide of Aaron McCarey's far post.

Jamie Glackin provides a cool finish to double Coleraine's lead.
