Billy-Joe Burns nicks the ball off Jay Boyd and swings in a cross towards Paul Heatley, who’s flagged offside as he darts into the box.
Just past the half-hour mark, and while they’ve yet to truly test Gareth Deane, the away side looks the more likely to find a breakthrough.

This game has been a decent watch so far. The best chance has probably fallen to Eamon Fyfe.
Both managers will be pleased with the performance of their players.

Ryan McKay’s corner doesn’t clear the first man and is comfortably dealt with by Reece Neale, who steps out to hook it away unchallenged.
Glentoran 0-0 Portadown
The game has been stopped following a medical emergency in the stand on the far side of the pitch.
Bangor 0-0 Carrick Rangers
Harry Lynch and Reece Neale both whip tempting balls into the box in quick succession, each aimed for Ben Arthurs, but twice Jimmy Callacher positions himself perfectly to sniff out the danger.
Glentoran 0-0 Portadown
A deft touch from Pat Hoban puts Josh Kelly in but, as the ball seems to get stuck among the midfielder's feet, he looks to square the ball rather than shoot and the chance is gone.
Credit to Ports defender Steven McCullough for putting pressure on Kelly, though.
Glentoran 0-0 Portadown
The ball richochets kindly to James Teelan, who is clearly onside, but he somewhat rushes his shot and blasts it wide of the mark.
Portadown are enjoying a decent spell at present.

That was an incredible strike from Fyfe and I tell you; Andrew Mills is a very lucky man. There was power and pace on that.

My goodness, that was close!
Eamon Fyfe lines up an ambitious free kick from a good 30 yards and it comes off the base of the post before bouncing clear.

Reece Neale launches one forward for Ben Arthurs, who looks to have nipped in ahead of Jimmy Callacher, but Nathan Gartside reads it well and rushes out to claim before any real danger develops.
Bangor 0-0 Carrick Rangers
A nervy moment for the Seasiders as a poor clearance from Nathan Gartside’s goal kick lands at the feet of Danny Gibson, who drills a shot towards the near post but can only find the side netting from a tight angle.
Glentoran 0-0 Portadown
Portadown burst forward and the ball breaks for Luke Wilson on the edge of the penalty area but he miscues his effort well wide of the target.
His reaction of putting his hands on his head tells you that the midfielder thought it was a very presentable chance.
Glentoran 0-0 Portadown
A Glentoran corner falls to Jordan Jenkins in the penalty area.
The striker has scored a couple of goals from similar positions in recent games but, on this occasion, his hooked effort lands on the top of the net.

Portadown are very fluid and they are very comfortable on the ball.
It is good football.
Bangor 0-0 Carrick Rangers
A real sigh of relief for Mark Haughey there.
The defender tries to play out from the back, but his pass forward is charged down by Paul Heatley, the ball ricocheting awkwardly before thankfully rolling straight back into the gloves of Gareth Deane.
A heart-in-mouth moment for the hosts.
Glentoran 0-0 Portadown
Portadown produce an eye-catching passage of play but Luke Wilson's cross with the outside of his right foot is too close to Glentoran keeper Andrew Mills.
