Here's how the Championship side pulled one back against Portadown through Kris Calvert.

Igor Rutkowski reacts quickest to turn home his and Ballymena's second at the Showgrounds.

Perhaps that should have been a second for Glenavon! Peter Campbell lays it off for Paul McGovern but he can't make good contact and Rian Brown makes the save.

Off we go in the late kick-off.

David Healy looks to his bench for the first time tonight as Callumn Morrison is introduced.

He replaces Matt Yates in the 58th minute.

James Teelan fizzes a low cross right across the six-yard box, but Ben Quinn can't quite stretch far enough to make the connection. Inches away from restoring the Ports’ two-goal cushion.

Superb defending from from Dane McCullough, who nips in in front of Danny Gibson to prevent the Carrick Rangers striker from getting a shot away from close distance.

Carrick are looking more threatening as the match progresses.

This time Ben Buchanan-Rolleston's shot-cum-cross evades everyone and goes behind for a goal kick.

Any contact on the ball from an attacking player and that could've been the opener for the hosts.

Niall Currie turns to his bench as Divin Isamala makes way for debutant Gideon Tetteh.

Cliftonville are forced into a change before play restarts at Keevan Hawthorne injures himself in trying to prevent that Ballymena goal and he is replaced by Reece Jordan.

Leroy Millar picks up a yellow card, but the home side can't make the free-kick count.

Jack Scott lets fly with a powerful strike that Joel Little can only punch into the path of James Teelan, but with the goal gaping, the winger slices his volley wide.

That's a bad miss from the winger who has been so clinical this season.

Pat Hoban with a good chance, but his free-kick is over the crossbar.

Can the Glens find another leveller?

Carrick come agonisingly close to breaking the deadlock within a minute of the restart.

Aidan Steele's cross is met on the head by an unlikely target man in Paul Heatley, whose effort flies just beyond Chris Johns' left-hand post.

That's the closest the hosts have come to a goal so far tonight.

First change of the night for the visitors as Aaron Rogers makes way for Ross Redman.
