Linfield will be disappointed and those missed chances are very unlike Joel Cooper, he swiped at all three. Glentoran, they're like a boxer they need to take these few blows and regroup. Second half, the game has started to open up again.

Joel Cooper shows some dancing feet as he cuts in from the right into the Glentoran box but he has his shot well blocked.

Moments laster he manages to get a shot through but he can't keep it on target.

Then just after he has another great chance but it is blocked by Daniel Gyollai in goal.

Both sides really going at it here at Windsor Park, but with neither keeper being tested just yet.

At the other end David Fisher has an effort after Linfield are unable to clear successfully, but it is blocked and runs through to David Walsh in goal. Another positive start from both sides in this half.

Kirk Millar plays a delightful cross into the heart of the Glentoran box, but it goes just beyond the head of Matthew Fitzpatrick.

Half-time sub for Glentoran, James Douglas is on to replace Charlie Lindsay.

And off we go!

Glenavon manager Paddy McLaughlin has emphasised that the club's ambitions for next season will be much higher than just Premiership survival after they banished any lingering relegation fears by picking up a point in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with mid Ulster derby rivals Portadown at Shamrock Park.

McLaughlin took over the reins at the Mourneview Park outfit in mid-November with the club languishing perilously close to the drop zone following Stephen McDonnell's departure from the club.

"I said to the players after Tuesday night, congratulated them on getting themselves out of trouble, on getting us out of the relegation zone and securing our status but it wasn't something to be celebrated.

"We patted them on the back for that but it's not a position we want to be in year on year. You want to climb the division, you want to compete against the top sides.

"There's no reason why not, the potential at Glenavon is incredible and it's up to us to deliver more on the pitch."

Ballymena United manager Jim Ervin says he has been pleased with the impact made by January transfer window recruit Success Edogun but has been encouraging the forward to get himself into more goalscoring positions.

The 23-year-old joined the Sky Blues from Finn Harps at the end of January and has scored three goals in 10 league outings, including two in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Loughgall at the Showgrounds.

Ervin, who signed a new full-time contract with the club until 2028 on Friday, said Edogun's physical presence had made him "very effective" for the side.

"We'd spoken to him before about getting in the right areas as he does so much hard work outside of the box," Ervin said.

"He's a big powerful runner but in order for him to score goals we want him to stay closer to the goal and in and around the penalty area where he's going to score his goals."

Read more of what Jim Ervin had to say here, including his observation that training intensity at the club has gone "through the roof".

There is certainly an edge to this game. Glentoran started really slowly and when Linfield got that early goal I was fearing for them, but fair play they rallied and came back into the game and started to play well. Against the run of play, Linfield went back ahead and that has probably knocked Glentoran, they need to find their composure again.

Linfield started like a house on fire and rightly got ahead. I was saying, where are Glentoran? But then they got back in the game. However, poor defending allowed Linfield to take the lead again. It has been a cracking game and there are certainly more goals in this game.

Conceding that second goal probably knocked the stuffing out of Glentoran, but I think they are still very much in this game.

Referee Ian McNabb brings the first half to a close and what an entertaining half it has been.

Linfield have a slender lead, but all to play for in the second period.

The game has quietened down in the last few minnutes as we head into two minutes of added time.

Glentoran battling hard but lacking the killer ball inside the Linfield half.

After good work from Jamie Mulgrew, Kirk Millar has a simple tap in to restore Linfield's lead at Windsor Park.

Jordan Jenkins does well inside the Linfield box to get in front of the Linfield defence before his shot is blocked for a corner.

Daniel Amos gets a shot away from the resulting delivery but it is well saved at the near post by David Walsh.

Jordan Jenkins produces a calm finish to draw Glentoran level.

Blues' fans are back in full voice at Windsor Park.

They will hope they don't allow Glentoran back in the contest for a second time as we enter the last ten minutes of what has been a superb half of football for the neutral.

I think there is a long way to go I don't think it is going to finish like this.
