    Two disallowed goals are the only highlights from the opening period at Shamrock Park.

    Aside from them, there has not been much quality in the final third from either team.

    Both managers will be looking to energise their attacking units during the break.

    Since the goals, Cliftonville look like a different team now.

    I was very positive about how structured Glenavon were but, for the third goal, they opened up.

    Half-time at Solitude, where a lively first 45 sees Cliftonville take a 3-2 lead into the break.

    Eric McWoods gave the hosts a dream start, but Jack Malone and Bridel Bosakani hit back for the Lurgan Blues. Joe Sheridan and Jonny Addis then struck in quick succession to swing it back the Reds’ way.

    Linfield are pretty much in control at the interval at Windsor Park thanks to that Lewis Barr own goal and Matthew Fitzpatrick's header.

    Crusaders have occasionally looked threatening on the counter-attack but too often have struggled to link play together in the final third.

    If Linfield had of been a bit more clinical, it could be three or four nil.

    But, as long as it remains 2-0, Crusaders could still get back into the game

  9. INJURY TIMEpublished at 15:46 GMT 13 December 2025

    Jonny Addis (45+2 mins)

    Jonny Addis restores the Reds’ lead with his third league goal of the campaign.

    The centre-back finds himself on the edge of the box, takes a touch, and drills a low effort into the bottom right-hand corner after neat build-up from Jim Magilton's men.

    Joe Sheridan (43 mins)

    Joe Sheridan levels it up, and it’s one Sean Hamill won’t want to see again.

    The midfielder makes a darting run into the box and squeezes a low shot past the Glenavon keeper.

    It's a soft goal, but Cliftonville won’t care.

    Linfield 2-0 Crusaders

    Linfield spurn a glorious opportunity as Kyle McClean gets in behind the Crusaders defence but rather than go for goal himself, he opts to look for a team-mate and the chance disappears.

    Great credit to the kid [Bosakani] you will struggle to see a better goal today anywhere.

    It was a great strike and to have the bravery to hit it from there is superb.

    Bridel Bosakani (41 mins)

    Bridel Bosakani fires the visitors in front with a stunning strike.

    A free-kick from the left is only half-cleared, and the frontman meets it first time from distance, rifling a low volley past PJ Morrison. A sweet connection and a sweet moment for Michael O’Connor’s men.

    Cliftonville 1-1 Glenavon

    Rory Hale picks out Joe Sheridan on the edge of the box, and the defender shifts onto his left foot before firing straight at Sean Hamill.

    A routine stop for the substitute, who’s had little to do since replacing Mark Byrne.
