Dungannon look much better in the closing stages as they search for an equaliser.

Is it too little too late though?

Brilliant from Linfield, they have been second best at times in the game, but it is the long throw and Glentoran don't deal with it.

Fitzpatrick does brilliantly well, holds Larmour off, takes the ball down and has the awareness of where the goal is and hooks the ball into the net.

That is the sign of a man in form, he has been starved of good quality but as soon as he gets a chance he takes it. Massive goal for Linfield.

Good covering from Ethan McGee who gets round to take the ball off the toes of Danny Amos, waiting to pounce.

Approaching the hour mark and we have our first yellow card of the evening.

Linfield captain Kyle McClean goes into referee Steven Gregg's notebook for his challenge on Cameron Palmer.

It's scrappy but Portadown won't care as Baris Altintop's header bobbles in to break the deadlock at Shamrock Park.

Rodney McAree makes a change as Leo Alves comes on for Ternan Kelly.

Matthew Fitzpatrick with a terrific tackle in the middle of the pitch to dispossess Ross Clarke.

Good to see the art hasn't been completely lost to the game.

Josh Carson comes on for Shay McCartan.

Linfield manager David Healy will be frustrated by that.

Kirk Millar does well to win the corner initially but Sam Taylor overhits his kick and the ball goes out of play on the far side.

Tidy build-up play creates space for Aaron McEneff but the Glentoran midfielder blasts his shot well wide of the target from the edge of the penalty area.

We're back under way at Windsor Park.

No changes for either team at half-time.

Steven McCullough takes a corner which finds its way on target forcing a save from Declan Dunne.

Tiernan Kelly is booked after a hard challenge on Eamon Fyfe.

Both managers take the opportunity to shuffle their packs.

Rodney McAree makes three changes, Paul Doyle, Sean McAllister and Kobei Moore are replaced by Kealan Dillon, Andrew Mitchell and Corey Smith.

Niall Currie makes one change with Jack Scott coming off for Gideon Tetteh.

No goals at half-time but plenty of effort from both sets of players.

The visitors have looked the more likely to score, thanks mainly to the promptings of Ross Clarke on the right.

Jordan Jenkins, Aaron McEneff and Danny Amos have had half chances but Linfield have defended stoutly.

At the other end, Matthew Fitzpatrick has had limited opportunities in difficult conditions.

All to play for then after the break.

Jordan Stewart skips in behind the Linfield defence before laying the ball into the path of the supporting Danny Amos.

The left-back gets his shot away but it is hacked away by a relieved Linfield defence.

Into two additional minutes at the end of the first half.

If Glentoran are to score then you feel Ross Clarke might have a hand, or foot, in it.

Once again, he finds the space to deliver a cross into the Linfield penalty area.

Aaron McEneff times his run perfectly to meet the ball but scoops his effort from 12 yards over the crossbar.
