Will we see a goal before the full-time whistle?

Crucially, he's off the pitch so play continues.

I don't think I've seen a goal like that - it's the easiest goal Connor Murray will ever score, it's straight at the keeper.

A clever corner routine from Linfield but Matthew Shevlin clears the danger.

Kirk McLaughlin is introduced for Francis McCaffrey.

Sean Graham's delivery is poor, as another corner comes to nothing, with Declan Dunne claiming the ball with ease.

Jack McIntyre and Seanan Clucas get in a bit of a fumble when trying to clear the ball under pressure by Robert Mahon, but the forward can't control the danger.

That was a bit of a let off for the home side.
