Cameron Bruce gets the better of Harry Lynch on the flank and delivers a high ball toward the near post.

However, it lacks the necessary direction, and Gareth Deane is able to smother it comfortably.

Zane Okoro has been a threat all night for the visitors, this time setting up Dylan Boyle who blazes his shot high over the crossbar from 18 yards.

Ballymena's Dylan McGeouch picks up the first yellow card of the evening for a full-blooded challenge on the touchline.

Ryan Waide cuts the ball back to Matthew Snoddy at the edge of the box and his low shot takes a deflection that almost sees it sneak inside the post.

From the resulting corner, though, Snoddy is booked for clattering Alex Moore.

Jim Magilton looks to his bench for some inspiration as Joe Gormley comes on to replace Keevan Hawthorne.

Jordan Forsythe hammers a powerful free-kick over the wall that Gareth Deane only sees at the last second. The keeper does brilliantly to react, fingertipping the ball over the crossbar to concede a corner.

The hosts are piling on the pressure now, with the home crowd sensing an equaliser is coming.

A brilliant top-corner strike from Conor Falls brings Glenavon level.

Audacious attempt from Matthew Fitzpatrick who spots Declan Dunne off his line and tries to lob him from just inside the Dungannon half, but his effort doesn't dip in time and sails over the top of the crossbar.

Niall Devlin produces the first caution of the night as James Teelan catches Kyle Cherry with a late challenge

Oisin Devlin loses his footing and inadvertently wipes out Kurtis Forsythe right on the edge of the area. It is a clumsy challenge that presents Crusaders with a massive opportunity.

Jordan Forsythe to take.

Success Edogun lays the ball into the path of Donal Rocks but his daisy-cutter of a shot poses no problems for Glenavon keeper Jacob Carney.

Matthew Shevlin is denied a second of the game by the frame of the post.

Ben Wylie picks the striker out with a deft cross and his header looks to be heading towards the bottom corner, only for Rohan Ferguson to get his fingertips to the ball and touch the effort on to the post.

Michael Place's long throw causes trouble in the Portadown box with the ball being allowed to bounce right in front of Alex Moore which draws some sharp intakes of breath among the home faithful.

They clear that one but Danny Gibson has his first real effort of the game soon after as he whistles a shot over the bar.

Larne's main attacking threat since half time is, Matthew Ridley.

This time, he whips a superb first time ball across the face of goal where Andy Ryan volleys over the bar.

Reece Neale reads the danger perfectly, sliding in to intercept just in time. Bangor are firmly under the cosh but continue to weather the storm.

Crusaders are asking all the questions since the restart.

Glentoran look full of confidence at the start of the second half and it's no surprise given the current aggregate score from their last three meetings with Cliftonville is 9-0!

He fires a low angled shot which clips the outside of the post on its way past.
