Was that the moment for Bangor?

A mix-up at the back from Coleraine presents leading scorer Ben Arthurs with a golden opportunity, one on one with the Coleraine goalkeeper.

The big striker does everything right but Ryan Schofield is equal to the task, sticking out a big left leg to keep the ball out of his net.

The rebound falls to Lewis Harrison whose follow-up effort is brilliantly blocked by Coleraine captain Lyndon Kane, getting back to help out.

A great chance for the visitors to pull a goal back with just under 20 minutes remaining.

The ball breaks for Joe Thomson on the edge of the Larne penalty area but the midfielder rushes his shot and drags it wide.

There's some activity on both benches as Glentoran replace skipper Marcus Kane with Daniel Larmour.

Larne respond by bringing on James Simpson and Benji Magee for Leroy Millar and Tiarnan O'Connor.

Will Patching tries his luck direct from a corner kick.

Bangor keeper Patrick Grogan scrambles across his goal line to bat the ball away from danger under his crossbar.

Some intricate build-up play from Glentoran ends with Joe Thomson's shot being deflected behind by the outstretched boot of Sean Graham.

Coleraine introduce their second sub as Jamie McGonigle comes on for Ronan Doherty.

Glentoran replace Liam Burt with Jordan Jenkins.

Could the striker be the man to make the difference in the final third of the pitch?

Larne think they're in on goal as Matty Lusty runs into the right-hand channel but MJ Kamson-Kamara keeps pace with him, deals with the situation and eventually wins a free-kick.

The English defender has been a solid performer in that Glentoran rearguard tonight.

A first change for Bangor as Ben Cushnie replaces Michael Morgan for the remaining half hour.

The ball breaks to Joe Thomson on the edge of the Larne penalty area.

He strikes his low shot well enough but it's sufficiently close to Rohan Ferguson to ensure the keeper deals with the effort comfortably.

Coleraine head coach Ruaidhri Higgins makes his first change of the night, 10 minutes after the break, as Lewis McGregor replaces Zane Okoro.

Larne make an early second half change as Conor McKendry limps off to be replaced by Matty Lusty.

Some untidy Larne defending from a Glentoran corner ends with visiting skipper Marcus Kane firing an overhead kick over the bar.

Coleraine denied a third by the width of a post.

A bit of trickery from Joel Cooper on the edge of the Bangor penalty area sees him whip the ball towards goal with his left foot, his low shot crashing off the woodwork.

Almost the perfect start to the second half for the hosts.

A rare slip from Aaron Donnelly almost presents Glentoran with a chance.

Pat Hoban rolls the ball across the face of the penalty area but in the in-rushing Liam Burt's shot is brilliantly blocked by the sliding challenge of Chris Gallagher.

The action resumes at Inver Park with the same personnel who finished the first half.

Joel Cooper gets us back under way at the Showgrounds.

No changes for either team at half-time.

Half-time at the Showgrounds where the home side lead 2-0 thanks to early goals from the twin strike force of Joel Cooper and Matthew Shevlin.

Cooper opened the scoring after just seven minutes, finishing off a fine team move with a smart strike, before Shevlin added a second eight minutes later, thanks to a Cooper assist.

Bangor rallied in the closing stages of the first half and Jack O'Mahony went close from a corner in the dying moments.

Signs of encouragement then for the visitors against the league leaders.

No score at the interval at Inver Park.

There have been occasional, very fleeting hints that something good might happen but both teams have struggled to make any sort of impact in the final third of the pitch.

So close for Bangor!

Reece Neale's long throw is only partially cleared by the home defence.

Former Coleraine midfielder Jack O'Mahony reacts quickly but his first-time volley goes just the wrong side of the post.
