  1. What a header!published at 16:30 British Summer Time 15 April 2017

    Cliftonville 2-3 Crusaders

    Owens uses his head brilliantly yet again, but this time it's to bail out his side's defenders! The striker was well positioned to jump and head a cross behind for a corner, a crucial intervention with Jason McGuinness ready to score from point-blank range.

    Coleraine 1-0 Glenavon

    Darren McCauley fires the Bannsiders in front on 70 minutes with a backpost volley from Ian Parkhill's cross. Could be a vital goal in Coleraine's bid to clinch third place and with it Europa League football.

    Cliftonville 2-3 Crusaders

    Unbelievable! Owens scores again! 

    Isn't this just typical of Crusaders? They never know when to give up and have turned this game right around in their favour in the blink of an eye!

    Owens rises to meet another cross - this time from the right - and his effort was once again too much for Burke, who got his gloves on it but only helped it over the line. 

    What a rollercoaster of emotions this has been on the Crusaders bench. They just don't do things the easy way. Breathless stuff at Solitude.

    Cliftonville 2-2 Crusaders

    Owens equalises with a towering header!

    Well, once again, Crusaders are rescued by the quality of their two star players. Paul Heatley did well down the left flank to make space for a cross and deliver it pinpoint for Owens, who got plenty of his power behind his header.  

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:21 British Summer Time 15 April 2017

    Cliftonville 2-1 Crusaders

    Oh dear. Crusaders break but Caddell tries to play the killer pass a little hastily. It's easily intercepted and the midfielder's reaction is to lunge in with a nasty challenge, rightfully leading to a yellow card.

  8. JUST WIDE!published at 16:19 British Summer Time 15 April 2017

    Ballymena 0-1 Linfield

    Allen is helpless this time as Smyth fires another shot towards his goal but, luckily for the Sky Blues keeper, it's just inches wide. Linfield remain firmly in control here. It's been a comfortable afternoon for David Healy's men but the longer it stays 1-0, the more uncomfortable the Blues boss's seat in the stands will become!

  9. CLOSE!published at 16:15 British Summer Time 15 April 2017

    Ballymena 0-1 Linfield

    Smyth's glancing header is brilliantly saved by Allen! Ballymena are hanging on by the skin of their teeth right now as Linfield look to close the game off.

    Cliftonville 2-1 Crusaders

    The game's complexion has completely transformed. With those two goals, Cliftonville are riding the crest of a wave and Crusaders suddenly look all over the place at the back. 

    Things nearly got even worse for the visitors when Sean O'Neill went down in the box with a shoulder injury, but the medical team have successfully popped it back into place and he's cleared to continue (don't try that at home!)

    WOW! A stunning strike from Ives fires Cliftonville into the lead!

    A minute after the restart and Sean O'Neill is picking the ball out from the back of his net once again. Baxter will be wondering what's going on here - Crusaders were 1-0 up and looking relatively comfortable but they've suffered a mini-collapse.

    The rest of the second-half is now an almighty test of their character.

  14. Half-time thoughtspublished at 15:57 British Summer Time 15 April 2017

    Ballymena 0-1 Linfield

    An interesting nugget of tactical analysis from Roy Walker at the Showgrounds, who has identified Paul Smyth as key in unlocking that three-man Ballymena defence. 

    Quote Message

    It's been impressive from a Linfield perspective. Paul Smyth, in particular, has been brilliant, with his pace and low centre of gravity. He's caused Ballymena plenty of problems and their three-man defence don't know whether to stick or twist when he stays out wide and gives the Blues that outlet. With Andrew Waterworth constantly running off the ball as well, Ballymena's defenders are being pulled out of position.

    Cliftonville 1-1 Crusaders

    What an equaliser! Cliftonville produce a beautiful passing sequence that ends with Levi Ives firing in a cracker! What a time to get it!

    The Reds have largely failed to string together a lot of meaningful attacks, but that was vintage stuff, with swift passing and moving leaving the Crusaders defenders helpless as Jay Donnelly laid it on a plate for Ives, who finished with aplomb. 

    It's worth noting that Gavin Whyte tested Peter Burke a minute before that, swiveling menacingly to engineer space and force the save from the substitute Reds keeper.

    Indeed, two quick goals in Carrick. Guillaume Keke's deflected strike from 20 yards hits the bottom corner to double the visitor's lead, but Rangers hit back as Martin Murray smashes home.

  20. CLOSE!published at 15:37 British Summer Time 15 April 2017

    Ballymena 0-1 Linfield

    It's been too easy for Linfield so far. Their captain, Jamie Mulgrew, surges through midfield and unleashes a fierce drive from 20 yards which whistles just over the bar.
