Dungannon Swifts are struggling to impose themselves in the final third so far with Crusaders looking the most likely to break the deadlock.

Teelan quickly wins possession back and earns a corner, which Kennedy delivers from the left.

Divin Isamala gets his head to the ball before Chris Johns punches clear, but it falls back to Isamala, whose attempted volley goes wide of the left post.

Ballymena's James Hood turns sharply with the ball on the edge of the Carrick penalty area but then can't keep his shot on target.

Larne perhaps should have doubled their lead.

Paul O'Neill is played clear through on goal before he attempts to loft the ball over Peter Morrison but he adds too much flight and the ball lands on top of the Cliftonville net.

James Teelan sends a clever pass towards Ben Kennedy down the left, but the Portadown forward cannot quite connect with the ball as the chance goes begging.

Chris Shields heads Mikey Hewitt's throw clear, but the ball falls back to Hewitt and he delivers into the box towards Sean O'Mahoney King.

Dane McCullough makes a crucial block before clearing the danger.

Owen Wardell is certainly getting his range in for Crusaders as he curls another effort narrowly wide of the Dungannon far post.

Coleraine's Lewis Webb is certainly the busier of the two goalkeepers at this stage and he gets down brilliantly at his near post to turn Jordan Stewart's drive round his post for a corner.

Much better from the home side with half an hour gone.

First real chance for Cliftonville. Liam McStravick picks up the ball on the edge of the Larne area and lets fly with a low drive that has Rohan Ferguson worried, but it flashes just wide of the left-hand upright.

Glentoran's best period of the opening half.

First, Ross Clarke shows great strength to outmuscle Ben Doherty before drilling a low ball across the face of goal, no one in a Glens shirt able to get a touch.

Then, from a corner, Greg Sloggett forces a fine diving save from Lewis Webb with a well timed volley from the edge of the penalty area.

Carrick miss an absolutely golden chance to go in front as Jordan Forsythe's long throw is flicked on to the back post where the in-rushing Kyle Cherry arrives unmarked but smashes his effort over the crossbar.

The clearest chance for either team so far.

Jamie McGonigle is a man in form, adding his third goal in two games with a cool finish to double Limavady's advantage.

Ballymena break with speed with Chris McKee feeding the ball to David Toure in the right-hand channel but the right-back's effort is well deflected behind by Carrick defender Kym Nelson.

Ethan McGee looks to release Kirk Millar into space down the left, but the offside flag brings the Linfield attack to an end.

The Ports have been forced to defend for much of the past five minutes but are holding firm.

John Scott picks up the first booking of the night as the Dungannon Swifts defender is punished for bringing down Owen Wardell.

Midway through the first half where we're still waiting for our first goal.

A Nedas Maciulaitis corner causes chaos in the Ballymena penalty area, but Joe Crowe can only head tamely at keeper David Walsh.

Carrick are starting to build up a head of steam in this game.

Matty Lusty's deflected strike has Larne ahead at Inver Park.
