    Bangor 0-0 Carrick Rangers

    A cagey last few minutes as both sides go more direct, hoping to create an opening.

    It’s tense, scrappy, and feels like one goal could settle it either way.

    Glentoran 1-1 Portadown

    James Teelan gets the better of Ryan Cooney and then drifts past Shane McEleney, but he can't get his cross in.

    The Portadown winger is starting to become an increasingly influential figure in this game.

    Bangor 0-0 Carrick Rangers

    Reece Neale’s corner finds Ben Arthurs, whose powerful header looks destined to hit the back of the net, but Nathan Gartside pulls off an excellent stop to keep it out.

    Eamon Fyfe (61 mins)

    Portadown are level as James Teelan beats Ryan Cooney to the ball inside the penalty area and his low cross is turned in from close range by Eamon Fyfe.

    Glentoran feel that the challenge on Cooney may have been a foul, but referee Ben McMaster sees nothing untoward.

    Bangor 0-0 Carrick Rangers

    Mick Morgan is causing real problems for the Carrick defence, attempting an audacious flick over Jimmy Callacher before darting round the other side. But Callacher stays calm, using all his experience to nod it safely back to Nathan Gartside.

    Jimmy Callacher releases Paul Heatley down the right, and the winger exchanges passes with Matthew Snoddy, but the return ball is overhit and drifts out for a goal-kick.

    Certainly in the opening 10 minutes of the second half, Glentoran are the much more dominant side and Portadown are having to stick to their task and defend resolutely.

    Liam Burt, at full stretch, fires over the crossbar as Glentoran look to turn their dominance into a second goal.

    Reece Neale clips in a teasing cross to the back post where Mick Morgan rises to nod it back across goal, but Nathan Gartside reacts sharply to gather and snuff out the danger.

    Glentoran 1-0 Portadown

    A Ryan Cooney free kick is only cleared as far as Danny Amos on the edge of the penalty area but the defender's shot - with his less-favoured right foot - is straight at Alex Moore.

    Glentoran have started this second half in the ascendancy.
