Glentoran 1-1 Coleraine

A superb Matt Crossan strike earned the Bannsiders a draw with 10-man Glentoran in the Co-Operative Insurance Cup quarter-final first leg at the Oval.

Glens defender Kyle Neill went off with an ankle injury before Michael Halliday headed in a 14th minute opener from David Scullion's pinpoint cross.

Jason Hill was red-carded on 55 minutes for a stamp on Stephen Dooley.

Coleraine levelled 14 minutes later when Crossan rifled the ball into the top corner from 25 yards.

Neill was stretchered off after eight minutes with Daryl Fordyce his replacement.

Gareth Harkin went close for the visitors with a shot which beat Glens keeper James Taylor but slid just wide of the woodwork.

Taylor turned away a Tommy McCallion effort while Darren Boyce and Halliday fired wide for the hosts.

Taylor denied Coleraine a last-gasp victory when he scrambled away another McCallion shot.
