Coleraine 0-2 Linfield
Coleraine coming more into the game but they still look unlikely to breach Linfield's defences.
The Blues boasted the most frugal defence in the Irish Premiership this season, conceding only 24 goals in 38 games.
They didn't fare too bad at the other end of the pitch either mind you with 87 goals scored, again better than any other club.

Coleraine's best chance of the half so far falls to striker Jamie McGonigle but his header is off target.

Coleraine 0-2 Linfield
The second half kicks off and Coleraine go into the next 45 minutes with a major mountain to climb.
Linfield were dominant and well in control in the first half. Can Coleraine respond?
One goal and the Bannsiders could be right back in it. Another for the Blues and it is surely all over.

Quote MessageLinfield look composed out there but Coleraine are very disjointed. There is nobody holding the ball up for them in attack. They have looked nervous.

Linfield deserve to be leading at half-time - they’ve played wth more confidence against a Coleraine side who have not really settled into their rhythm. Eoin Bradley is the only man on the Bannsiders’ team to have played in an Irish Cup final before, and suspicions that Coleraine’s lack of big match experience could be a factor have been justified. Andrew Waterworth, whose hat-trick against Cliftonville clinched the title last week, is grabbing the headlines again with both goals. He scored twice when Glentoran won the 2013 final and the 31-year-old former Hamilton Accies striker from Crossgar in County Down is showing again what a class finisher he is.
