Ballymena have come out with a real sense of purpose.

They thoroughly deserve to be on equal terms and that was a fantastic goal and a fantastic header from Matthew Clarke.

A first test for stand-in Portadown goalkeeper as Eamon Fyfe gathers Joel Cooper's effort from long range.

That'll do his confidence good.

Glenavon begin the second half in a dominant fashion.

Jack Malone receives the ball on the penalty spot and hits a shot which gets blocked by Danny Wallace.

An early change in the second half for the visitors as Kodi Lyons-Foster comes on for Charles Dunne.

Gael Bigirimana enters the book for a late challenge in the centre of the pitch.

Rory Hale sends a curling effort well over the crossbar.

Cliftonville would certainly like another goal here to give themselves a bit of breathing room.

Patrick McEleney strikes fiercely from outside the area but his right-footed effort sails just high and wide of Chris Johns' goal.

Ballymena have looked somewhat threatening going forward, but are yet to really trouble Johns with anything meaningful.

One change for the home side during the break as Tabu Minzamba replaces Ben Quinn, who himself replaced Rayhaan Tulloch in the first half.

Not often you see a sub being subbed.

Ryan McKay's corner is nodded wide by Jimmy Callacher.

Danny Gibson tried to get a touch on the header from close range, but he misses.

Ben Hall is the second Linfield player booked as he brings Kian Corbally down on the right flank.

Eric McWoods goes down in the box under the challenge of Luke McCullough but, despite the appeals, no penalty is awarded.

Plenty of action in the last few minutes!

James Teelan gets us back under way at Shamrock Park.

Just a reminder that Portadown are down to 10 men following the sending off of goalkeeper Aaron McCarey in added time at the end of the first half.

With no substitute keeper on the bench, striker Eamon Fyfe has taken over in goals for the second 45 minutes.

Crusaders threaten as Lewis Barr's header from an Elliot Dunlop corner forces Andrew Mills to awkwwardly scramble the ball behind.

From the resultant corner, Fraser Bryden can't keep his effort on target but it's a more promising start to the second period from the home side.

Good defending from Jack Keaney robs Paul Heatley of the ball just moments before he was going to have a shot.

A bit of a nervy moment for the Reds as Eric McWoods nearly goes over the wall behind the net.

However, he is OK and, with a bit of help, gets both feet back on the pitch.

For the second time this half, Success Edogun creates a shooting opportunity for himself from outside the box but blasts high and wide on both occasions.
