Matthew Fitzpatrick tries his luck from range again towards the near post, but this time Nathan Gartside is equal to it and makes the save.

Watch Carrick goalkeeper Nathan Gartside dive low to his right to deny Linfield's Chris Shields' effort from the penalty spot and keep the score level at Taylors Avenue.

There has not been much to get excited about in this second half, with the ball spending more time in the air than on the ground.

It has been a real battle out there, to put it kindly.

I genuinely have nothing to keep you up to date about in terms of chances, it has been such a poor second half.

Adam Frizzell and Dylan Wells are introduced with Rhys Brennan and Kitt Nelson making way.
