Linfield may have made a really bright start to this game, but it is now the home side who are looking like more of a threat.

Could this be a night of upsets?!

David Walsh makes a diving save down to his right to deny Senan Devine's strike.

That was a really good chance for the home side.

Charlie Allen shows some great trickery down the right wing, but no one can fire home his resulting pass.

Sam Roscoe finds Callumn Morrison at the edge of the box.

However, he sends a powerful effort over the crossbar.

Gerard Walker leaps to collect Sam Roscoe's shot from close range.

It has all been one-way traffic so far.

Another nervy moment for the home side but, this time, Ewan McCoubrey hoofs the ball to safety.

What a chance!

After good work down the left wing by Ethan McGee and Callumn Morrison, the latter passes to Matthew Fitzpatrick just inside the box.

The Linfield striker has a go, but his effort crashes off the crossbar.

Callumn Morrison's cross into the box is too heavy and sails out of play.

David Healy's side look keen to net an early goal here.

Matthew Fitzpatrick nods Kyle McClean's corner narrowly wide.

After three first-minute goals in yesterday's BetMcLean Cup ties, we were nearly treated to another there!
