Rory Hale plays a neat one-two with Liam McStravick before racing into the box and slotting the return pass beyond Jamie Barry.

The Cliftonville captain's celebrations are cut short, however, as the offside flag goes up after 27 minutes of play.

Joseph Sheridan looks to release Rory Hale with a quick pass along the ground, but Portadown cut it out and immediately launch a counter-attack.

James Teelan again threatens down the right before firing a low ball into the box, but Alex Bannon is well positioned to clear the danger.

Kyle McClean shoots back across goal and almost catches Nathan Gartside out, but sees his effort fall just wide of the near post.

Stephen Baxter is forced into an early substitution as Billy Joe Burns is replaced by Kym Nelson in defence.

Burns looks like he has sustained a hamstring injury.

Watch as Brian Healy slots home to give Cliftonville an early lead.

Jamie McGonigle almost gets himself a debut goal for Limavady United, but he is denied by Declan Dunne in the Dungannon Swifts goal.

The big keeper gets a strong hand to McGonigle's shot after great work by John Butcher to create the chance.

Watch Josh Archer rifle the ball into the net to give Ballymena the lead at Bangor.

Ben Kennedy finds plenty of space down the left and sends a dangerous cross into the Cliftonville box, but Daniel O'Connor makes a crucial clearance behind for a corner.

Joseph Sheridan then clears the resulting delivery to safety.

Portadown pick up their second yellow card after 20 minutes as Dominic Dos Santos Martins is booked for a late challenge on Oliver Samuels.

Brian Healy is a goalscorer. I think he has found it difficult because he is playing upfront on his own and coming up from the Championship.

He displayed real coolness to slot the ball home, and it is probably what Cliftonville deserve.

First shot on goal for the visitors.

A long punt forward from Nathan Gartside is allowed to bounce and finds the path of Paul Heatley, who strikes directly at Chris Johns who makes a routine save.

Dungannon Swifts are looking dangerous every time they break forward as Leo Alves links up well with Paul Doyle before drilling a low shot which Marty Gallagher does well to get down to.

For the goal, Bangor defended terribly for it and it had been coming.

However, do not take anything away from the strike, it was a great goal from Josh Archer.

It is going to be an uphill battle for Bangor, I think.

Portadown threaten down the right again as James Teelan turns well to get the better of Oliver Samuels before delivering into the box.

Alex Bannon reads the danger and rises to head the cross clear.

Linfield have been excellent, after the opening week, there were lots of raised eyebrows and David Healy took a lot of abuse.

You don't know when you are sitting on a seat in the stands, what funds he has had in the transfer market.

There is no doubt that Linfield have more weaknesses than they have in recent years but to address that issue and to go into a transfer window that is quite buoyant, you need finances.

I sympathise with David Healy to be honest.

Oliver Samuels wins a free-kick in a promising position on the left edge of the box after being brought down by the outstretched boot of Lewis MacKinnon, who is shown the first yellow card of the afternoon.

Cliftonville try to work it short, but Rory Hale cannot latch onto the pass and Portadown clear comfortably.

Ballymena's Chris McKee has the first effort on target of the afternoon but Gareth Deane is always behind the striker's 25-yard strike.

First opportunity of the games goes Linfield's way after 10 minutes as Matthew Fitzpatrick strikes with his right foot from just outside the area.

His effort isn't far away but never had Nathan Gartside worried in the Carrick Rangers goal.
