    Fifteen minutes remaining at Seaview though, in truth, it feels as if this game ended as a contest some time ago.

    Barney McKeown sees red after the Glenavon captain receives two yellow cards in quick succession as the hosts go down to nine men.

    McKeown firstly gets booked for dissent, then he proceeds to applaud referee Jamie Robinson on that decision, which leads to Robinson producing a second yellow.

    It will be a long last 24 minutes for Paddy McLaughlin's men now.

    Conor McKendry (71 mins)

    Conor McKendry, take a bow.

    The substitute is afforded time and space to line one up from distance, and he makes it count. The winger's strike clips the inside of the far post and rolls into the net to give the visitors the lead.

  16. Postpublished at 16:29 BST 6 September

    Ballymena United 0-2 Glentoran

    Top class defending from Glentoran skipper Marcus Kane as Matthew Clarke's low ball across the face of goal looks certain to be turned in by Jack O'Reilly but Kane slides full length to poke the ball behind for a corner.

    Glentoran's players celebrate it like a goal at the other end and little wonder - it preserves the visitors' two-goal lead.

  17. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:29 BST 6 September
