    Since the sixth Linfield goal, there has been very little action with Linfield content to play the ball around their defence.

    H&W Welders 3-6 Linfield

    This has been a great game for the neutral, maybe not so good for either teams' blood pressure as it has been non-stop.

    Linfield look set to progress to the final eight now though, unless the Welders can produce another dramatic comeback.

    Well, well, well...

    The Welders are level!
