Marcus Kane drives out from the back before drilling a cross field ball for Connolly, whose lobbed pass played in Jay Donnelly.It's been fairly even since the goal as Ballymena United look to get themselves back into this semi-final.
The initial header from Kym Nelson had beat Andrew Mills though and was on its way into the net. A costly intervention from Kennedy.It's Andy Scott who picks out Danny Lafferty at the back post, but he places his header straight at the Glentoran 'keeper.And just like that we have the first shot of the game.
