FIRST HALF

3: GOAL - CLIFTONVILLE 1 (RONAN HALE) - 0 Glentoran – The Reds make a rapid start here at Solitude as Ben Wilson's flicked header falls into the path of Ronan Hale, who slides the ball past Aaron McCarey. 1-0.

21: Daire O’Connor finds some space and gets a shot away from a narrowing angle. It looks like David Odumosu saved it, but referee points for a goal kick instead.

28: Sean Murray clips a ball in behind for Shay McCartan to run on to, but Stephen Mallon does well to guide it out of play.

36: David Fisher is the first player into Keith Kennedy’s book after colliding with Chris Gallagher.

45: Ronan Doherty plays a fantastic through ball into the path of Ben Wilson, but his shot is high and wide.

45+2 - GOAL: Cliftonville 1 - 1 GLENTORAN (DAIRE O'CONNOR) – Glentoran find their equaliser on the stroke of half-time as Daire O'Connor's deflected shot makes its way past David Odumosu after Cliftonville failed to clear their lines from a throw in

HALF-TIME: Cliftonville 1 (Ronan Hale, 3) – 1 Glentoran (Daire O’Connor, 45+2)

Jim Magilton makes one half-time substitution with Stephen McGuinness coming on for Stephen Mallon.

48: GOAL - Cliftonville 1 - 2 GLENTORAN (DAVID FISHER) – A superb free-kick routine between Sean Murray and Shay McCartan, who clips the ball to the back post for Fisher to head home in front of the Glentoran fans.

53: Rory Hale unleashes a vicious shot from distance which has Aaron McCarey scrambling, but it goes just over his crossbar.

55: GOAL - CLIFTONVILLE 2 (SHEA KEARNEY) - 2 Glentoran – Cliftonville aren't behind for long and what a moment for 19-year-old Shea Kearney, who scores his first senior Reds goal. He receives the ball wide on the right, cuts inside and unleashes a wicked shot into the far corner. All square once again.

62: Rhys Marshall makes his first Glentoran appearance since September 2 by replacing Sean Murray.

66: Stephen McGuinness plays a great ball into the box for Ronan Hale, but the striker can only send his shot directly at Aaron McCarey.

72: Ben Wilson is replaced by Sam Ashford for Cliftonville and Warren Feeney makes a substitution of his own with Daire O’Connor making way for Josh Kelly.

FULL TIME: Cliftonville 2 – 2 Glentoran. Cliftonville thought they had a winner with the last kick of the game after Rory Hale converted from Odhran Casey's cross, but it was flagged for offside. Honours even at Solitude.
