Danny Amos swings in a Glentoran corner which is headed back across goal by Kodi Lyons-Foster but David Fisher can only head it behind.

Cue a collective sigh of relief from the home support.

Eric McWoods nearly adds a fourth!

The forward exchanges a sharp one-two with Michael Glynn, squeezes into the box at a tight angle, and rattles the outside of the post with a low drive.

A Kirk Millar free-kick causes panic in the Coleraine defence, the ball breaks for Euan East but the defender's left foot volley goes wide of the far post.

A let off for the home side.

Final roll of the dice from Darren Murphy as Loughgall make a triple change.

Matthew O'Brien replaces captain Ben Murdock, Daire Kelly comes on for Benji Magee, and Robbie Mahon enters the fray in place of Tiernan Kelly. Fresh legs all over the park — but the clock is very much against the Mid-Ulster side.

Glentoran bring on Nathaniel Ferris in place of Cammy Palmer as they chase a goal.

The striker has 15 minutes to make an impact.

Now it's the turn of the Glentoran fans to appeal for a penalty as Joe Thomson goes down under a challenge from Shaun Want as a cross comes in.

It meets with the same fruitless fate as Larne's appeal at the other end.

A first change of the afternoon for the home side as Declan McManus is replaced by Jamie McGonigle for the final quarter.

Alex Parsons has the easiest of finishes after fellow substitute Eric McWoods unselfishly squared the ball to him.

A second good chance for Linfield in as many minutes as Ethan McGee presents sub' Kieran Offord with a glorious opportunity.

Unfortunately, the former Crusaders man miscues his header from six yards out and the chance is gone.

This time Jim Ervin makes a double change with Ethan Devine and Joe Moore coming on in place of Calvin McCurry and goal scorer Luke Hawe.

Sean Graham delivers a peach of a free kick from the left flank into the Glentoran penalty area but there are no takers.

Shaun Want looks longingly at referee Jamie Robinson claiming he had been fouled by Marcus Kane but the official sees nothing untoward.

A double change for Linfield with just over 20 minutes remaining and it's an attacking one as strikers Chris McKee and Kieran Offord replace Charlie Allen and Callumn Morrison.

Rodney McAree brings on Grant Hutchinson for Gael Bigirimana.

Lloyd Anderson and Leon Boyd make way for the away side with Oilibhear McCart and Josh O'Connor introduced.

The closest Linfield have come to getting a goal.

Coleraie defender Charles Dunne loses possession way out of position on the left touchline.

Linfield make the most of the error, switching the ball to the impressive Joshua Archer who strides forward with purpose before cracking a shot off Little's left hand post.

Larne make another change as Olatunde Bayode replaces Mark Randall.

Not before Randall earns a yellow card for his slow progress off the pitch!

A lovely move by Kealan Dillon dispatches John McGovern down the right wing with Thomas Maguire colliding with the post in an attempt to head his pass into the back of the net.

After treatment, Maguire is back on the pitch.

Ryan Mayse and Ahu Obhakhan replace Paul McElroy and James Teelan for the Ports.

Jim Ervin also makes a change as Liam Phinn replaces James Hood.

Glentoran are slowly turning the screw in this second half.

Jonny Russell's long throws have been a regular threat for the visitors.
