HOW THEY RATED: Linfield and Glentoran marks in BetMcLean Cup final

Player ratings as follows:

LINFIELD

Chris Johns: A clean sheet for the Linfield stopper who came for crosses and his kicking was excellent throughout the afternoon - 7

Euan East: Provided an attacking threat down the left-hand side in the opening period of the match. Managed to keep Josh Daniels quiet for the majority of the game - 6

Kirk Millar: Nearly broke the deadlock with a superb shot on the turn but failed to provide his usual creativity out wide - 5

Kyle McClean: Started the game as skipper and managed the occasion well after a first-half caution. Went close with a free-kick in the second half - 6

Ben Hall: A colossus performance in the heart of the back four by the Linfield defender. Managed to deal with entries into the box and helped Linfield keep Glentoran’s attackers at bay after a bright start by Declan Devine’s men - 7

Joshua Archer: A tireless performance in the engine room in a more defensive role on a very heavy pitch - 5

Isaac Baird: Plenty of energy in the midfield area and made a timely block to deny Jordan Stewart. Replaced just after the hour mark - 5

Ethan McGee: A willing trier at both ends of the pitch for the Blues as he aimed to get forward from his right-back role. Defended well when posed questions - 7

Matthew Fitzpatrick: Found the first half difficult against a well-marshalled Glentoran defence. Came close to scoring with a rasping shot in the second half. Booked in extra-time – 6

Sam Taylor: A very bright opening half-hour on the left with Euan East but fizzed out of the game and was replaced - 5

Darragh Leahy: A great performance in the heart of the back four. Managed to keep in-form Pat Hoban quiet and dealt with entries into the box by the Glens - 7

SUBSTITUTES

David Walsh: not used

Chris McKee: Introduced as a substitute at the start of extra-time. Won the penalty and dispatched the spot-kick to win the cup for Linfield - 7

Yates: not used

Jamie Mulgrew: The veteran was brought on by David Healy with around 10 minutes remaining of normal time. Tried to push Linfield forward - 5

Adam Frizzell: Brought on after an hour and had a few bright moments as he looked to provide some attacking flair - 5

Sean Brown: Introduced late in extra-time. Hard to make a difference - 4

Dane McCullough: Healy elected to bring on the full-back 10 minutes before the end of normal time. Did his job with minimal fuss - 5

GLENTORAN

Billy Crelin: Huge save to deny Matthew Fitzpatrick after 55 minutes and was off his line quickly to stop a dangerous move – 6

Ryan Cooney: Sitting top of the Premiership's assists chart this term, Cooney's delivery wasn't at his usual best at times. Made a number of important defensive contributions – 6

Marcus Kane: Glentoran's best player in first half, launching number of attacks. Continued to impress after the break and emptied the tank. Replaced by Daniel Larmour ahead of extra-time – 8

MJ Kamson-Kamara: Dominant presence at the back, clearing up any danger. Won first contact on number of crosses. Gave away the penalty – 7

Danny Amos: Booked early for a foul on Josh Archer. Superb effort forced fine save from Chris Johns – 6

Cammy Palmer: Keeps Glentoran ticking and been one of their top performers this season. Was brilliant in extra-time and seemed unlucky to pick up a booking for challenge on Jamie Mulgrew – 7

Aaron McEneff: Moment of quality almost created opener. Came close to scoring at start of second half from Josh Daniels cross – 6

James Singleton: Covered a lot of ground for his side and able partner in midfield for Cammy Palmer – 6

Jordan Stewart: Had a couple of big chances to put his side ahead early and started the match in fine form. Replaced by Liam Burt – 7

Pat Hoban: Almost struck home on stroke of half-time. Dropped deeper to get on ball and grew into the game after the break. Linfield dealt with the threat well – 7

Josh Daniels: Bright in the early stages, putting in number of dangerous balls. Put ball on plate for big Aaron McEneff chance in second half – 6

SUBSTITUTES
