    Cliftonville 0-0 Dungannon Swifts

    John McGovern cleverly flicks the ball into the path of Tomas Galvin, who slots home from close range - cue celebrations.

    A scrappy last five minutes, with neither side able to keep control for long. Possession is changing hands far too easily, and any real rhythm is hard to come by.

    Lovely vision from Rory Hale, threading a precise ball through for Ryan Corrigan.

    The angle is tight, but he still fancies it - only for Alex Henderson to race off his line and smother.

    Corner to the home side, and Henderson’s sharp start continues.
