    What a block by Baris Altintop as he flicks Rory Hale's shot over the bar.

    The Cliftonville captain couldn't have caught that any sweeter but he holds his head in his hands after Altintop's timely intervention.

    And just like that we have the breakthrough and it's somewhat against the run of play as Portadown get their noses in front.

    Michael Hewitt nips in front of PJ Morrison to poke the ball towards goal from the angle, it bounces back off the inside of the post for Ben Kennedy to fire in from close range.

    Cliftonville v Portadown (18:00 BST)

    Cliftonville provided a much-needed shot in the arm for boss Jim Magilton thanks to their midweek win over Glentoran in the Co Antrim Shield.

    Tuesday night's victory brought a halt to a run of five defeats on the spin as the Reds' season looked set to implode.

    Magilton will be hoping his side have now turned a corner, but he is forced into a late change for the visit of Portadown as Dean McMaster fails a late fitness and is replaced in the starting XI by Joe Sheridan.

    Aaron Wightman also comes in for Kyle McClelland, who drops to the bench.

    The Ports have come through their own testing spell after picking up only one point from their opening nine games.

    They followed up the win over Limavady United a fortnight ago with another impressive display in the goalless draw at home to Glentoran last Friday night.

    As such manager David Jeffrey names an unchanged side from the Glens stalemate.

    Cliftonville: Morrison, Wightman, Samuels, Wilson, Hale, Healy, Leppard, Sheridan, Quinn, Bannon, McStravick.

    Subs: Cremen-Cowan, Conlan, McClelland, Thompson, Gormley, Hawthorne, Stanfield.

    Portadown: McCarey, Isamala, Carson, Altintop, Chapman, O'Mahoney, Teelan, Hewitt, Thompson, Kennedy, Flanagan.

    Subs: Minzamba, Towe, Falls, Fyfe, Jessop, Wells, Scott.

    That was the last kick of the game and you have to feel for Limavady, the corner they conceded was cheap and Ben Gallagher puts in a great delivery which Daniel Larmour heads home.

    Limavady just ran out of gas, switched off and it's cost them a point which they deserved.

    It's been an enjoyable afternoon. The game has had everything, mistakes, brilliant moments and all in all, I think a draw is a fair result.

    It was a massive victory today and that little bit of quality from Charlie Allen in the second half separated the teams because there wasn't much between them.
