Joe Gormley opens the scoring for Cliftonville with a cool finish.

A quick wipe with the magic sponge from physio Ciaran Ferris and Kyle McClelland is fit to continue.

That's the closest the visitors have come to scoring this evening.

Kian Corbally strikes with his left foot from outside the box, but his curling effort goes just wide of the far upright, much to the relief of Aaron McCarey who was scrambling across goal.

Further concern for the home side with Kyle McClelland now down needing treatment.

Coleraine win their first corner of the game in front of the Linfield fans.

Lee Chapman, who makes his 100th appearance for Portadown this afternoon, is the first player to go in referee Ian McNabb's book.

Here's how Shay McCartan gave Portadown the lead at home to Ballymena United.

Matthew Shevlin thinks he's through on goal but his joy is short-lived as he's blown up for a foul on Scot Whiteside.

Brandon Bermingham's powerful free-kick from just outside the box looks like it's going to open the scoring, but Jonny Tuffey impressively palms the shot over the crossbar.

Crusaders are able to defend the resulting corner.

Quick counter attack from Portadown as Shay McCartan feeds Steven McCullough down the left, who finds James Teelan free at the back post but the forward can't keep his strike down as his right-footed effort sails high and wide of the near post.

After that bright opening, the game has become more stop-start and fractious, with a lot of free-kicks.

Ryan Curran and Joe Gormley link up well and Joe does what he does best.

Referee Tony Clarke calls over Coleraine defender Charles Dunne and Linfield striker Matthew Fitzpatrick for a quick chat after the pair are involved in a spot of pushing and shoving in midfield.

Common sense prevails and no cards are shown.

I think Glentoran are slightly edging it so far. I came here expecting Larne to dominate but Larne have been knocked out of their stride by the intensity of Glentoran. Larne have not showed enough composure on the ball, maybe because it has that cup final atmosphere.

Odhran Casey whips in a teasing cross from the right wing, and Ryan Curran makes a sharp run to meet it at the near post.

The striker heads it towards goal, but Berraatt Turker is quick off his line, diving low to claim possession.

Lovely move from the Ports as James Teelan accelerates down the right-hand side before feeding Eamon Fyfe who tries to pull the ball back into the box, but Ballymena clear their lines and thwart the attack.

The early departure of Dean Jarvis has forced a reshuffle at the back for Coleraine.

Paddy Burns moves across to take over the left-back role with sub' Aidan Tejada now at right back.

Of greater concern for Bannsiders' boss Dean Shiels, however, will be that both his full-backs are now injured ahead of potentially season-defining games in the European play-offs.

Ryan Curran takes matters into his own hands, driving low from 20 yards, and it whistles just past the far post.

Curran is left with his head in his hands. That wasn’t far away at all for the Reds.
