OJO BOOKS A DATE WITH DESTINY
A Destiny Ojo strike in the closing minutes of extra-time at saw Cliftonville reach the BetMcLean Cup final at Larne's expense at Inver Park.
A relatively quiet and scoreless first half did still produce some efforts of note for both sides.
Joe Gormley came closest for the Reds after pouncing on a poor ball only to see Rohan Ferguson diving to tip his effort around the upright.
At the other end David Odumosu was called into action to keep out a Conor McKendry drive from distance.
Larne were dealt a blow early in the second half after they were reduced to ten men following Shaun Want's dismissal for a challenge on Rory Hale.
The sides continued to trade chances as the game progressed, with Odumosu forced to deal with Ryan Nolan's header from Levi Ives' free-kick while, for the visitors, Axel Piesold sent a dipping volley just over the top.
Cliftonville thought they had done enough four minutes from the end of extra-time after Jonny Addis sent over a perfectly delivered cross for Aaron Pettifer to turn home but his finish was ruled out offside.
But the visiting fans were celebrating just sixty seconds after that. A Rory Hale ball to the back post was met by Ojo who duly turned it into the net to spark scenes of ecstasy amongst the travelling support and a place in March's decider against Glentoran.
