Fyfe's corner-kick from the left is met at the back post by a diving header off Altintop that eventually finds a path over the line past numerous players
68: Altintop close in the away box then Moore saves off Dillon before Smith's low drive deflects out for a corner-kick - off which Portadown counter via Tetteh and Teelan but Fyfe, racing in, cannot gain a clean connection on the cross
64: Neat build-up play across the box ends with a clever feint by McCullough and low cross but centre-back MacKinnon is unable to get off a shot

39: First significant opening as Doyle arrows the ball on an angle from deep towards the back post and McGinty's header back across the target drifts just wide
32: McAllister's initial corner-kick eventually deflects back into his path inside the box but the creative chip drops straight to Moore
30: Slick footwork in the box by a twisting and turning Teelan before feeding the ball towards goal, with Dunne on hand to collect
11: Teelan steers the ball into the packed penalty area from the right wing and McCartan nips in front of the Dungannon defenders then takes a touch but his snapshot drive is the wrong side of the upright
6: SUB (Portadown) - Teelan on for Ukek
1: The in-form Ukek cuts in from the left and, off a tight angle, stabs the ball goalwards but Dunne makes a comfortable save
