Marouane Fellaini was sent off for headbutting Sergio Aguero as Manchester City and Manchester United fought out an attritional goalless draw at Etihad Stadium to leave their hopes of a place in the Premier League's top four still in the balance.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will be the happier after they extended their unbeaten league run to 24 games, a feat achieved without Fellaini in the closing stages after he was dismissed for a senseless headbutt on Aguero.
Argentine Aguero came closest for City when he hit the post early on and manager Pep Guardiola was left with an injury concern when keeper Claudio Bravo was taken off on a stretcher after injuring his calf catching a cross in the second half.

City substitute Gabriel Jesus had a later header correctly ruled out for offside as they remain in fourth place, with United a point behind in fifth as both sides have five games remaining.
Reaction from the Manchester derby
Aguero was "smart" over red card - Mourinho
Bravo's season could be over - Guardiola
In Short - why Mourinho should sign John Terry
United had 30.8% possession - their lowest figure in a Premier League game since Opta started recording possession in 2003-04.
But Mourinho's side showed all the qualities that have ensured they have remained unbeaten in the Premier League since October to battle their way to a point here.
United spent much of the game on the back foot and almost the entire second half camped in their own territory, but showed the reserves of resilience, organisation and defiance that compensates for their current lack of stardust.
Michael Carrick provided the solid platform and for the most part City were frustrated, with too many efforts off target or lacking the power to trouble United keeper David de Gea.
United carried real threat in the pace of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial but their midfield lacked the guile to provide the right service.
This result keeps United right in the hunt for the top four as they stand in fifth place, one point behind City and two points behind third-placed Liverpool with a game in hand.
The biggest minus on their night was the crass stupidity of Fellaini, needlessly involved in the incident that saw him thrust his head into the face of Aguero.
Fellaini had been booked 19 seconds earlier for another foul on the City forward and after his red card the Belgian had to be encouraged to leave the field by his team-mates.
This was deja vu for City and Guardiola - so much possession and territory, too little end result.
City created the best chances and effectively spent the second 45 minutes camped in United territory but as on so many occasions this season, including the FA Cup semi-final loss to Arsenal, possession and territory was not turned into scoreline supremacy.
It is a puzzle Guardiola must solve and one which will cause him disquiet given the range of attacking talent at his disposal.

City are still having to fight for that top four place and Guardiola must hope his side discover a ruthless edge, with the return to fitness of Gabriel Jesus sure to help. The Brazilian, signed last year but unable to play until January, was making his first appearance since he was injured playing against Bournemouth on 13 February.
Vincent Kompany's return to form and fitness has been massive bonus for Manchester City and Guardiola - and the 31-year-old who has captained the club to two Premier League titles looked back to his imperious best against Manchester United.
Kompany gives City's defence added power and assurance, as well as leadership, and illustrated again how much he has been missed as he has battled a succession of injuries.
He played only 33 games in 2014-15 and 22 last season, a total that included only 14 league matches, and this was only his 10th appearance this term as the campaign moves into May.
This was the first time in more than a year Kompany has put together a sequence of three successive games and came after a tough 120 minutes in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final defeat by Arsenal at Wembley.
Kompany is providing quality for the present and may also give Guardiola food for thought when he makes his summer transfer plans, which are almost certain to include a move for another central defender, with Southampton's Virgil van Dijk and Burnley's Michael Keane among those linked with a switch to Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City will climb above Liverpool, who don't play until Monday, if they win at relegation-threatened Middlesbrough on Sunday (14:05 BST), while Manchester United host struggling Swansea City at Old Trafford on the same day (12:00 BST).

Widnes Vikings assistant coach Brett Hodgson will leave the club at the end of the 2017 season to join National Rugby League (NRL) side Wests Tigers as their assistant head coach.

The 39-year-old played 102 NRL games for the Tigers between 2004 and 2008, helping them win the 2005 Premiership.
"It's a good fit for him as a bloke and it's the right thing to do," head coach Denis Betts told BBC Radio Merseyside.
"He's done a fantastic job here and it's been an honour working with him."
Meanwhile, Betts confirmed hooker Aaron Heremaia could be out for the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury in their defeat by Wakefield.
"It's a real blow for us. He's hit his knee which is probably a 10 to 12-week injury which is not good for us as he's one of the leaders and strong members of our group," he said.


Turkey has made a formal request to Germany to prosecute a TV satirist for reading an obscene poem about President Erdogan, officials in Berlin say.

Jan Boehmermann made clear before he read the poem that it contained allegations that breached German rules on free speech.
Germany prosecutors launched a preliminary inquiry, as insulting foreign leaders is considered illegal.
Broadcaster ZDF has said it will stand by Boehmermann.
"The programme will carry on as before," it said, insisting that collaboration with Boehmermann would continue.
However, the public TV network removed the video from the internet last week.
The government has said it will consider the Turkish request, adding that Chancellor Angela Merkel saw freedom of speech as non-negotiable.
Jan Boehmermann is Germany's most daring comedian, proving that the country's ordinarily stuffy public broadcasters can be innovative.
But try to find the sketch online now and a message comes up saying that it's not available for copyright reasons. In fact the clip has been deleted by the channel that broadcasts the show.
Some have called the sketch art. Others say it's puerile and vulgar. But whether its author should be prosecuted is quite another question.
There is outrage in Germany that a publicly-funded channel has appeared to bow down to pressure from the Turkish government, which is already accused of suppressing free speech back home.
And Chancellor Angela Merkel's opinion that the poem is "deliberately offensive" has laid her open to accusations that she is not standing up for free speech because Europe needs Turkey to help solve the refugee crisis.
The poem was broadcast in late March on Boehmermann's Neo Magazin Royale show.
It was in response to an earlier Turkish complaint about a satirical song on German TV mocking President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's authoritarian style and crackdown on civil liberties.
The German ambassador was summoned by the government in Ankara after the song, "Erdowie, Erdowo, Erdogan", was broadcast on the public NDR TV channel. The German government and the EU defended the song as an example of free speech.
Boehmermann hit back, delivering the poem during his late-night show as an example of what he was not allowed to do under Germany's criminal code.
The poem featured references to sex with goats and sheep as well as references to repression of Turkey's minorities.
Twenty complaints were made and prosecutors in Mainz announced they were investigating whether it had broken section 103 of the criminal code, which bans insulting representatives or organs belonging to foreign states.
Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert, told reporters on Monday that the government in Ankara had sent Germany's foreign ministry a diplomatic note with "a formal request for criminal prosecution".
The note would be examined, he added. "It will take a few days. I can't and don't want to anticipate the results of this examination."
Boehmermann is widely known in Germany for his incisive satire. Last year, he produced a video of Greece's then-finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, raising his middle finger to Germany.
After his poem was pulled from the internet on 1 April, he tweeted: "I think today, 1 April 2016, we've shown impressively together with ZDF where the limits of satire lie here in Germany. Finally!"


April Fools' Day arrived across the EFL, but for some supporters there was absolute no joking around as relegation was finally confirmed for one of the 72 clubs.

After six months stranded at the foot of the Championship, Rotherham's drop into League One was confirmed by a home defeat to Fulham.
But, the Millers' tale was not the only one of note on a day where promotion prospects and relegation worries were made just a little clearer towards the end of the campaign.
Here are five stories that might have escaped your attention among the twists and turns.
Saturday, 18 February - it might seen like a fairly inconsequential date, but prior to kick-off at Yeovil, for Carlisle United fans, that was the last time they had celebrated a goal.
A wait of 42 days or 701 minutes of football to give it another value, ended when John O'Sullivan's first-half header found the back of the net at Huish Park.
It was a thrilling goal not just for the 170 fans who travelled the 337 miles from Cumbria, but also for United boss Keith Curle.
His side's first league win in eight after Reggie Lambe added a second goal, lifted them back into the League Two play-off places and above fellow contenders Blackpool, who lost at Luton.
There's been no shortage of news coming out of Leyton Orient this season and sadly, not a lot of it has been concerned the club's on-the-pitch fortunes.
Stuck at the foot of League Two and nine points adrift of safety with just six games remaining, this week they parted company with a manager for the fourth time this season.
Danny Webb was the latest man to depart on Thursday after just two months in the job and the managerial baton was passed to his assistant Omer Riza until the end of the campaign.
Riza took charge of the team for the visit of play-off hopefuls Wycombe on Saturday, but there was to be no change in fortune for the hosts.
After defender Tom Parkes was shown a red card inside 28 minutes, Riza failed to keep his cool towards referee Charles Breakspear at the interval.
He was sent to the stands at the start of the second half for verbal abuse and Orient could not prevent a 16th home defeat of a troublesome season as the Chairboys won 2-0.
All of this came amid the club staving off a winding-up petition last month with owner Francesco Becchetti being given until 12 June to pay off debts or sell the club.
From one League Two manager not wanting to watch from the stands to another who was very happy to be able to do so.
Gary Johnson has had more than managing Cheltenham Town on his mind of late after recovering from triple-heart-bypass surgery.
The 61-year-old, who had the operation last month, was back to watch his side, albeit from a less pressurised position than the touchline.
He proved to be somewhat of a lucky charm for his squad and assistant Russell Milton as the Robins ended a run of four straight defeats with a 3-1 win against Morecambe.
It proved a vital three points to help them pull six clear of danger in 21st place.
Maybe he can go and pay Bristol City-managing son Lee a visit in midweek as he fights his own relegation battle in the Championship.
Phil Brown must have found a pretty useful page in his manager's notebook to inspire his Southend side to win against the odds at home to Oldham.
The Shrimpers have surprised a few by being among the League One play-off contenders this season.
But Brown's men showed why they deserve to be there after losing midfielder Ryan Leonard to a red card with 20 minutes to go.
Within eight minutes, the 10-man hosts were 2-0 up courtesy of goals by Nile Ranger and Theo Robinson.
Anthony Wordsworth added a stoppage time penalty to put the gloss on a 3-0 victory for the sixth-placed club, who have now won four league games on the bounce.
There's been lots of talk of late about the resurgence of Jermain Defoe's England career, but one of his goal-scoring 30+ contemporaries showed he still has an eye for a neat finish at Meadow Lane.
Former Newcastle United striker Shola Ameobi, at 35, is a year older than Defoe, and has been plying his trade for Notts County in League Two since the start of February.
He scored his third goal in two games to help Kevin Nolan's side to a 3-1 win against Colchester United.
It was the first time Ameobi had netted a brace in a league game since leading the other Magpies to a famous 5-1 win against Sunderland in October 2010.
The man who scored Newcastle's other three goals that day - none other than Ameobi's then team-mate Kevin Nolan, now his boss at Meadow Lane.


The famous lemurs of Madagascar face such severe threats to their survival that none of them may be left in the wild within 25 years.

That stark warning comes from one of the world's leading specialists in the iconic animals.
Deforestation and hunting are taking an increasing toll, according to Professor Jonah Ratsimbazafy, director of GERP, a centre for primate research in Madagascar.
"My heart is broken," he told the BBC, "because the situation is getting worse as more forests disappear every year. That means the lemurs are in more and more trouble."
So far 106 species of lemur have been identified and nearly all of them are judged to be at risk of extinction, many of them critically endangered.
The habitats they depend on - mostly a variety of different kinds of forest - only exist in Madagascar.
"Just as fish cannot survive without water, lemurs cannot survive without forest, but less than 10% of the original Madagascar forest is left," said Prof Ratsimbazafy, who is also a co-vice chair of the Madagascar primates section of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
"I would believe that within the next 25 years, if the speed of the deforestation is still the same, there would be no forest left, and that means no lemurs left in this island."
The pressure to clear the forests comes from a rapidly growing but extremely poor population seeking to open up new farmland. At least 92% of people in Madagascar live on less than the equivalent of $2 a day.
A form of slash-and-burn agriculture known as "tavi" sees trees felled and undergrowth scorched to make way for fields of rice and other crops.
Video of one recent forest clearance shows an apocalyptic scene of an entire hillside of charred stumps and smouldering vegetation.
In one supposedly protected area I visited in eastern Madagascar, a sign announcing a prohibition on tree felling stood ignored amid new plantations of banana palms and maize.
Conservationists have long argued that slash-and-burn farming is needlessly damaging, leaving the soil unproductive after a few years, and that more intensive forms of cultivation would allow more forests to be left standing.
The government of Madagascar has recently confirmed that as much as 10% of the country is now earmarked in some way for wildlife - from national parks to what are called protected areas - but the rules are often not enforced at a local level.
Prof Ratsimbazafy said: "We have a struggle. Sometimes there is engagement on paper but sometimes it's not in reality because on the ground there is still deforestation."
He recalled how a new species of mouse lemur had once been discovered and identified in a forest only for that land to be "turned into a field of cassava" two years later.
The only long-term solution, according to Prof Ratsimbazafy, is to engage communities and persuade them that the forests - and the lemurs - have a value that is worth safeguarding.
In one protected area, Maromizaha, his organisation, GERP, is hiring local people to keep watch over the forest and to act as guides for tourists, making the point that the lemurs can worth more alive than dead.
It is also supporting new ventures in the local village including fish-farming and bee-keeping, and teaching new techniques for rice-growing that do not require constant expansion into the forest.
Nearby, a reserve known as Mitsinjo is run by a cooperative group set up by guides who encourage eco-tourism and ensure that the lemurs are safe - a model of management widely seen as promising.
But there is an additional threat to the lemurs that stems from persistent poverty and widespread hunger - a continuing demand for bushmeat.
Although it is illegal to kill lemurs, poachers are still setting traps for the animals or shooting them, either for their own consumption or to be sold to others.
There are no reliable estimates for the scale of the losses but in one vulnerable area it is thought that as many as 10% of the population of lemurs could be killed ever year.
A local NGO called Madagasikara Voakajy recently investigated the bushmeat trade and photographed lemurs being hunted, butchered and eaten.
The organisation's director, Julie Razafimanahaka, told us that her researchers persuaded a hunter to allow them to observe him searching for the largest of Madagascar's lemurs, the Indri, famous for their size and black, white and grey fur.
"My team met with the hunter and followed him in the forest and saw him using guns and shooting the Indris and bringing back five to the shops and small restaurants.
"Families were then cooking and eating them. That was very shocking."
Although in the past it has been taboo or what is called "fady" for local communities to eat lemurs, the increasing mobility of the population has brought in outsiders who do not care about old traditions.
In one gold-mining area, new arrivals persuaded local people to hunt Indri for them. And when the locals saw that breaking the taboo did not bring them bad luck, they too started eating the lemurs.
What had begun as a research project by Madagasikara Voakajy was quickly switched into a campaign to try to save the lemurs with an education campaign in schools.
According to Julie Razafimanahaka, a survey of opinion among children conducted after the campaign found a clear difference in attitude towards the lemurs.
"We have seen that children that have been educated are more aware of the protection status of the lemurs and they have a more positive perception so they would be sad if the lemurs were dying and they would be happy to see one.
"Whereas children at schools where we didn't do the education still thought lemurs were bushmeat - they thought they could eat them and most didn't care if there were lemurs or not because they're just like any animals."
Meanwhile another study into lemurs came up with a finding that complicates the campaign to save the animals: children that were fed lemurs suffered less malnutrition than those that were not.
The most recent comprehensive survey of lemurs was published in 2013 by the IUCN, the Bristol Conservation and Science Group and Conservation International.
It concluded that 94% of lemur species were at risk - an increase from 66% only seven years earlier - and highlighted the urgent need to engage local people, foster eco-tourism and maintain a permanent research presence in the forests.
But the report also signalled that breeding colonies should be set up to ensure that the animals at least survive in captivity, if not in the wild, as a strategy of last resort.


MK Dons have confirmed that long-serving goalkeeper David Martin will leave at the end of the season.

The 31-year-old is the club's second-highest appearance maker, playing 332 times across two spells, and helped them go up to the Championship in 2015.
The League One side held discussions over Martin's future but said both parties will "go their separate ways".
"I thank the fans that have supported me through all the good and bad times we've seen at the club," Martin said.
"We have our last home game of the season on Saturday and it will be my chance to say farewell to our amazing fans."
Only full-back Dean Lewington has featured in more games for MK Dons, with the defender's future also in the balance.
Club chairman Pete Winkleman said about Martin: "He's been involved in some amazing highlights over the years - ones which will live long in the memory of our supporters. I wish him all the best in the future."


A reputed mobster has been found not guilty of planning a brazen 1978 airport heist that helped to inspire the Mafia film Goodfellas.

After the verdict, the 80-year-old Vincent Asaro walked out of the courthouse in Brooklyn and threw his hands into the air, shouting: "Free!"
He was cleared of murder, extortion and other crimes after a three-week trial.
His arrest last year had raised hopes that one of the country's most infamous unsolved crimes would be closed.
The theft by masked men of $5m in cash and $1m in jewels from a Lufthansa Airlines cargo building at New York's John F Kennedy Airport was the biggest robbery ever carried out at the time.
Prosecutors said Mr Asaro waited in a decoy car about a mile away with another gangster Jimmy Burke, who inspired the character played by Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese's cult film.
Lawyers spent years building a case against the defendant, the only man arrested over the crime, and had called on senior Mafia figures to give evidence.
The US attorney's office declined to comment after the verdict, a reticence not shared by a jubilant and dumbfounded Mr Asaro.
"I was shocked, I was really shocked," he told reporters outside the courthouse, where major mobsters like John Gotti had been convicted in the past.
In closing arguments, Assistant US Attorney Alicyn Cooley told the court the defendant, whose father and grandfather were members of the secretive Bonanno crime family, "was born into that life and he fully embraced it".
The state's case relied heavily on the evidence of Mr Asaro's cousin Gaspare Valenti but defence lawyers tried to discredit such witnesses as "accomplished liars".
Taking the witness stand last month, Mr Valenti told the court that Mr Asaro and Mr Burke killed a suspected informant using a dog chain and then ordered him to bury the body.
As he walked free from court, getting into a waiting car, Mr Asaro joked to his lawyers: "Sam, don't let them see the body in the trunk."
Jimmy Burke died in 1996 while serving a 20-year sentence for the murder of a drug dealer. He was suspected of, but never prosecuted over, the Lufthansa robbery or the subsequent deaths of many of those suspected of taking part in the heist.


Labour has failed to agree on how to form its shadow cabinet at a meeting of its national executive committee.

Members were unable to reach a compromise after eight hours of talks.
The committee had considered plans - backed by deputy Leader Tom Watson - to reinstate elections to the shadow cabinet. Since 2011, the party leader has selected his own top team.
Mr Watson said the proposal could help Labour "put the band back together" for a possible early election.
A proposal  to decide on the details of the plan ahead of Saturday's leadership election result was voted down, by 16 votes to 15.
Mr Corbyn was among those to vote against it, but did agree to further talks with Mr Watson and other senior figures before the next NEC meeting this weekend, at the party's conference in Liverpool.
Mr Watson said afterwards that it was a "very positive meeting".
He added: "We agreed 22 changes to our rules and guidance, all sorts of positive things I'm sure the media will be really interested in."
Many MPs see elections as a way of constraining Mr Corbyn, should he be re-elected as leader, and ensuring a balance of opinion at Labour's top table.
Supporters of Mr Corbyn say any plan should call for party members and activists to also have a say in any elections.
The Labour leader has said there is a "thirst for democracy" in the party and he backs a "widening of the franchise".
Mr Watson also called for Labour's leadership election rules to be changed to exclude registered supporters who pay a one-off fee to vote.
He described their participation as "unpopular" and suggested a return to a franchise of party members, trade unionists and MPs.
In last year's contest, 84% of the 105,598 registered supporters who paid Â£3 to vote backed Jeremy Corbyn.
This time around, they were asked to pay Â£25 to take part.
Despite the increased fee, 129,000 people are thought to have applied successfully for a one-off vote in the contest between Mr Corbyn and his challenger Owen Smith - the result of which will be announced on Saturday.
Registered supporters were given a say in the choice of leader as a result of changes brought in by Ed Miliband, and approved by the party in 2013, designed to open up the process to a wider audience.
Critics have said it allowed the leadership election to be hijacked by far-left groups with their own agenda - although Mr Corbyn easily won the most support among all groups - including party members, trade unionists and other affiliated supporters.
Mr Watson, who himself was elected deputy leader last year using the same franchise, said the reforms had been "rushed" and "unpopular".
He suggested a return to the previous system used to elect Mr Miliband and his predecessors - in which voting was limited to an electoral college of party members, trade unionists, affiliate supporters and elected representatives of the party.
"We created a new category of member - a registered supporter - that was pretty unpopular in all sections. We want to remove that and we want also want to enfranchise ordinary trade unionists in the process," he said.
Mr Watson said he did not want the changes to be seen as a threat to Mr Corbyn and suggested they would only apply after he stood down, whenever that may be.
But the BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith said the move would be seen as an attempt to make it much harder for a left winger like Mr Corbyn to be elected.
Arriving at the NEC meeting in central London earlier, veteran Labour MP Dennis Skinner accused the media of "trying to get rid of" Mr Corbyn.


Organisers of the Hebridean Celtic Festival have described this year's event as the "most successful" in its history.
HebCelt was held earlier this month in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis.
The headline acts included The Waterboys, Imelda May, Lucy Spraggan and Skerryvore.
Also, the Peatbog Faeries and Dougie MacLean.
There were more than 40 acts and more than 70 hours of performances on the main arena in Stornoway town centre and sold-out community shows elsewhere on Lewis and on neighbouring Harris.
Almost 16,000 people attended over the four days.
HebCelt's 20th anniversary festival in 2015 had about 15,000 people.
Caroline Maclennan, the event's director, said: "Our 22nd festival was a great success.
"The beautiful weather added to the wonderful atmosphere in and around the arena and the feedback from the artists, audience and traders has been extremely positive, demonstrating the enormous benefit to the community the festival undoubtedly brings.
"It is a relaxed, chilled out occasion and, with the kids running around enjoying themselves too, it provides a superb family experience."
She added: "The demise of other festivals underlines just how challenging it is to organise these large-scale events, particularly outside the bigger population centres.
"Our continued success is testament to the fantastic support we get from our audiences, funders, sponsors, supporters and from this community."


Being crowned Miss USA is a dream Mikayla Holmgren shares with thousands of young women around America.

And so, like many before her, she has entered her state competition - taking the first step towards that final, glittering ceremony.
The only difference between Mikayla and the other women that she has Down's syndrome.
Not that she is letting that worry her.
"Beauty is from the inside out. I'm happy and joyful, it's like beauty inside out. It's almost gorgeous," she told local television channel Fox9 after revealing her bid to win the Miss Minnesota USA tiara.
It is thought Mikayla, a university student from Marine on St Croix, is the first young woman with Down's syndrome to enter Miss USA, which sees girls from every state across the country compete for a chance to reach the final pageant, shown live on national television.
Denise Wallace, executive co-director of the Miss Minnesota USA pageant, described the 22-year-old student as a "trailblazer" - but then she, and the Miss Minnesota USA organisers, are used to that label.
Mikayla's determination has seen her pursue her love of dance, speak to her State House and Senate and become a mentor to other young women.
The Miss Minnesota USA pageant, meanwhile, hit the headlines last year after Halima Aden - who spent her first years living in a refugee camp in Kenya - competed wearing a hijab and full-body burkini, another first for the Miss USA contest.
Mikayla is hopeful her place on stage next to the other contestants this November will break down more barriers- and even the prospect of walking in heels, the swimsuit section and her mother's jitters are not going to dent her enthusiasm.
"I want the world to know that Down Syndrome does not define me," she wrote on a crowdfunding page, set up to help with the pageant's costs.
"With your help, I can help break through walls."


Mark Patton scored the winner as Glenavon beat Ballymena United 2-1 at Windsor Park in an Irish Cup final which saw three players sent off.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Glenavon's Gareth McKeown and United midfielder Gary Thompson saw first-half red cards while Kyle Neill's free put the Lurgan Blues ahead on 35 minutes.
Allan Jenkins levelled with a backpost strike before substitute Patton hit the bottom corner after 76 minutes.
Tony Kane was red-carded in injury-time as Ballymena finished with nine men.
It was Glenavon's first Irish Cup triumph since 1997 while Ballymena have not won it for 25 years.
The opening quarter of the game was devoid of incident, but it was merely the calm before the storm with a dramatic final 27 minutes of the first half.
United full-back Jim Ervin was forced off with a knee injury seconds before McKeown's straight red on 29 minutes for an elbow on Ballymena keeper Aaron Shanahan.
The game opened up after the dismissal and Lurgan Blues midfielder Ciaran Martyn dragged a shot wide while United striker David Cushley sliced over at the backpost.
Neill made a 35th minute breakthrough with a superb strike, his 25-yard free-kick arrowing into the top corner.
Thompson was next to be shown a straight red card by referee Raymond Crangle, the midfielder sent off for a high challenge on Shane McCabe after 40 minutes.
Glenavon forward Guy Bates saw his overhead kick deflected wide two minutes later as Gary Hamilton's side made a strong finish to the half.
Ballymena improved on the restart as they chased the equaliser and Kane's powerful 30-yard flew just over the bar.
Martyn produced a goal-saving block to deny Darren Boyce on 68 minutes but United were soon rewarded for their second-half enterprise.
Glenavon keeper James McGrath failed to collect as a corner found Jenkins at the backpost and the United skipper Jenkins chested down before firing in from close range.
Parity lasted only five minutes as Patton again showed his value from the bench, hitting the bottom corner with a pinpoint strike from 20 yards.
Ballymena squandered a chance to level two minutes from time with Cushley clear on goal but McGrath raced out to save the striker's shot.
Kane became the third player to receive a straight red card after a poor challenge on Glenavon player/manager Hamilton deep into the injury time.
Ballymena United: Aaron Shanahan, Jim Ervin, Stephen McBride, Johnny Taylor, David Munster, Tony Kane, Gary Thompson, Allan Jenkins (capt), Alan Teggart, David Cushley, Darren Boyce.
Glenavon: James McGrath, Rhys Marshall, Kris Lindsay (capt), Gareth McKeown, James Singleton, Andy McGrory, Ciaran Martyn, Shane McCabe, Kyle Neill, Guy Bates, Tiarnan Mulvenna.

The Deep Flight Challenger submersible has been backed by Richard Branson's Virgin empire, and is currently undergoing its first water trials.

It was originally designed and built for billionaire adventurer Steve Fossett, who wanted to make the world's first solo dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
But after he died in a plane crash, former property investor Chris Welsh, who is based in California, bought the submarine and is now taking on the lonely challenge himself.
Chris said: "I've been working day and night for two years pursuing this. I'm really excited to get out there and do it - I can't wait.
"The rewards of this is breaking ground in so many ways - in raw human exploration, on bringing back science, and in getting a better understanding of our world."
The experimental sub was created and built by British engineer Graham Hawkes.
Fitted with wings and a tail fin, its design is based on that of a plane.
Chris Welsh hopes to "fly" down to the bottom of the trench, and break the record for the first lone dive there, later this year.
After this, he and the Virgin team also plan to plunge down four other trenches around the world, with the hope of reaching the deepest point in five oceans.

Pat Glass has been announced as Labour's shadow education secretary, after Lucy Powell resigned from Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet.

Ms Glass, MP for North West Durham, has been shadow minister for Europe and a shadow junior education minister.
But her appointment has come during a wave of resignations by Labour MPs seeking a change in leadership.
Ms Powell, in stepping down, said that Mr Corbyn's position has become "untenable" as Labour party leader.
Ms Glass has had a background in education, serving as a member of the education select committee during the coalition government between 2010 and 2015.
Before entering Parliament she worked with local education authorities on improving their education services.
She now enters a shadow cabinet facing calls for a leadership election, with her predecessor Ms Powell joining calls for another leader.
Ms Powell said Mr Corbyn had shown himself to be "decent, principled and kind" but that his position as head of the party had become "untenable" and that she did not have confidence that he could provide an effective opposition.
In her resignation letter Ms Powell highlighted that during her time as shadow education secretary the government had been forced to abandon plans to make it compulsory for all schools to become academies.


The US economy added 321,000 jobs in November, while the unemployment rate stayed at 5.8%, official Labor Department figures show.

The number of jobs created was well above analysts' forecasts of about 225,000 new jobs in the month.
US employers have added at least 200,000 jobs for 10 months in a row, the longest period of jobs growth since 1995.
The number of jobs created has averaged 241,000 a month this year.
The Labor Department added that 44,000 more jobs were created in September and October combined than the government had previously estimated.
But as in the UK, stronger job creation has yet to lead to a significant increase in salaries.
Analysts said the US economy would continue to improve, despite lower global growth expectations.
They added that companies hiring temporary workers for the winter holidays could be providing a boost to the overall jobs figure,
The US economy is less dependent on exports than Germany, China and Japan, but is more reliant on domestic consumer spending.
Delivery firms have announced ambitious recruitment plans. UPS has said it expects to add up to 95,000 seasonal workers, up from 85,000 last year. FedEx plans to hire 50,000, up from 40,000.
The National Retail Federation estimates that seasonal retail hiring could grow by about 4% to as much as 800,000.
Most recent figures suggest Americans are buying more cars, which is likely to keep factories busy in coming months. Auto sales last month rose to their second-fastest pace this year. Car sales are on track to rise 6% this year from 2013.
The economy is expected to slow in the final three months of the year to an annualised growth rate of 2.5%, down from 4.3% from April to September.
Meanwhile, the US trade deficit fell slightly in October, as exports rebounded, while oil imports dipped to the lowest level in five years.
The deficit edged down 0.4% to $43.4bn, as against a revised $43.6bn in September, the Commerce Department reported.
Exports climbed 1.2% to $197.5bn, recovering after a September dip.
Imports also rose by 0.9% to $241bn, but that increase was tempered by a 0.6% fall in imports of petroleum, which dropped to the lowest level since November 2009.


Singer Paolo Nutini has gone on trial accused of driving under the influence of alcohol while more than twice the legal limit in Paisley.

The 30-year-old was arrested in February after being spotted driving a Mini Cooper S in Maxwellton Street, Canal Street and High Road.
The court heard from a witness who said he saw Mr Nutini order vodka in a Paisley bar before driving off.
Mr Nutini denies a charge of drink driving.
The witness, Colin May, told Paisley Sheriff Court he reported the singer to police when he saw him driving a car shortly after leaving DeBeers Bar.
Mr May said he had earlier seen Mr Nutini and a friend ordering rounds in the bar.
He said the singer, who was with another man and woman, ordered one round while the man bought another two.
Fiscal Depute Frank Clarke, prosecuting, asked Mr May: "Were you able to hear what was ordered?"
He replied: "From memory, I believe it was vodka, more than one, but I could not be certain of that."
Mr May was later asked about seeing Mr Nutini in the driving seat of a black Mini at traffic lights on Maxwellton Street and Canal Street in Paisley.
He continued: "I had seen him drinking at the bar having more than what would be the legal limit of one to two drinks.
"At first I was a bit thrown and continued my journey home, then I called the police to tell them what I had seen."
Cross-examined by defence agent Massimo Franchi, Mr May was asked: "He goes back to his table and you don't know what happens, those drinks could have been spilled, you don't know?" Mr May agreed.
Mr Franchi put it to the witness: "You don't know if he drank vodka or soda and lime?"
Mr May replied: "I heard vodka being ordered."
When pressed by the sheriff if he could say what Mr Nutini was drinking, he answered: "No I can't."
The trial continues.


President Muhammadu Buhari is "recuperating fast" and will return home "very soon", says Nigeria's acting head of state Yemi Osinbajo.

He made the announcement at a press conference on Wednesday morning, after visiting Mr Buhari at the London hospital where he is being treated for an unspecified illness.
Mr Osinbajo, now back in Nigeria, said he had discussed a wide range of issues during the hour-long meeting.
Mr Buhari has been in London since May.
Africa Live: Updates on this and other stories
The 74-year-old leader was elected to power in 2015, becoming the first Nigerian  opposition leader to win an election.
It is his second period of medical leave in the UK, the first began in January and he returned home in March.
His long absence has led to speculation about whether he will be able to resume his presidential duties.
In his absence, President Buhari has given Vice-President Osinbajo full powers to act, in contrast to the situation in 2009, when the long illness of then President Umaru Yar'Adua led to a power vacuum.
By Ibrahim Shehu, BBC Hausa, Abuja
Nigerians are becoming increasingly sceptical about President Buhari's fitness to continue to govern the country effectively.
His indefinite medical leave and the economy in recession means the hope and aspirations of the electorate who brought him to power more than two years ago have died.
The uncertainty surrounding Mr Buhari's ability to continue to govern, or stand in elections in 2019, has left a lot of his political associates and supporters in limbo, as campaigning for 2019 begins in earnest a year from now.
Earlier this week, Nigeria's first lady Aisha Buhari launched a cryptic attack, apparently aimed at powerful ruling party politicians suspected of manoeuvring for the presidency or deputy presidency while her husband was ill.
In a Facebook post, Mrs Buhari warned that "hyenas and jackals" would be banished.
The vice-president has been acting in Mr Buhari's place while he is out of the country, but there is no suggestion he is part of any plot against the leader, says the BBC's Naziru Mikailu.
Mrs Buhari's comments came in response to a post from Senator Shehu Sani, who warned that people were "scheming... so that they can be kings".
"Prayers for the absent Lion King has waned," he wrote. "Now the hyenas and the jackals are scheming and talking to each other in whispers; still doubting whether the Lion King will be back or not."
But Mrs Buhari appeared to calm any concerns - suggesting her husband, positioned as the defender of the "weaker animals", was on the mend.
"God has answered the prayers of the weaker animals, the hyenas and jackals will soon be sent out the kingdom."


Northern Ireland defender Tom Flanagan has signed a two-year deal with Burton Albion having initially rejected an offer to stay at the Championship club.

The 25-year-old played 32 games for the Brewers last season and was set to sign a deal in June having verbally agreed new terms, but had a change of heart.
Manager Nigel Clough said: "Tom made a misjudgement. It was a few weeks ago and we now want to put that behind us."
Flanagan said he had listened to "some bad advice" but wanted to move on.
He added: "I had a change of heart and I'm regretful it has taken me this long.
"I want to thank the manager for his patience and understanding and I hope that the fans will also welcome me back."


A Lib Dem mayoral candidate was mistakenly billed in campaign material as standing for Labour.

Households were sent a leaflet giving "three reasons to back Beverley Nielsen for West Midlands Labour mayor".
One reason not to do so would be that Ms Nielsen was actually standing for the Liberal Democrats.
A campaign spokesman said the leaflet had been created by the local party - the Hall Green group.

Ms Nielsen said: "This leaflet was home published by a volunteer, not professionally published. It's clearly a mistake that is embarrassing to the person who made it, so we're not going to investigate further or name and shame.
"Our mayoral campaign relies heavily on volunteers and doesn't have the luxury of the big budget funding that some of the other candidates have, so I'm very grateful that supporters are contributing their time and effort in the Lib Dem fight back."
Other candidates include Graham Stevenson (Communist Party), Andy Street (Conservatives), James Burn (Green), Sion Simon (Labour) and Pete Durnell (UKIP).
They are bidding to become the first elected mayor of the West Midlands, leading the Combined Authority.
The polls open on 4 May.


A hotel, 48 flats, a gym and a supermarket could be built on the site of a former Suffolk brewery.

The listed Cliff Brewery building in Ipswich was home to the Tolly Cobbold brewery from 1723 until 2002.
Plans for a £30m overhaul by Cliff Quay Development will be on display at the Brewery Tap pub, which is next to the building, on Tuesday.
Consultant Clive Thomson said the development could generate up to 400 jobs and could be completed by 2016.
"The scheme is intended to restore and preserve a prominent local landmark and bring it back into beneficial use," said Mr Thomson, who works for Woodhall Properties Ltd.
He said the development would also feature retail outlets and a "possible brewery-themed visitors centre and micro brewery".
Ipswich Borough Council rejected another developer's application to convert the building into housing in 2004.
Mr Thomson said he was confident that concerns raised then, including one about a nearby company using potentially hazardous materials, were no longer issues.


Burundi's President Pierre Nkurunziza has won a controversial third term, taking nearly 70% of the vote, according to provisional results from the country's electoral commission.

Opposition leader Agathon Rwasa won 19% of the vote after his name was left on the ballot paper, despite a boycott.
At least 70 people have been killed since Mr Nkurunziza announced in April he would run for a third term.
The government accuses the opposition of provoking violent protests.
Opponents says his bid was illegal, due to a limit of two terms in the constitution.
Final, official results are expected at the end of next week.
Turnout was more than 73%, higher than many analysts predicted, although it was significantly lower in the capital Bujumbura, where most of the protests have been.
In an interview with the BBC after the declaration, Mr Rwasa described the elections results as "a joke".
"These are results set up in the electoral commission... not those expressed by the voters," he said.
Regional and international bodies have already said the conditions for credible and free elections were not met.
The US State Department has joined critics saying the election lacks credibility.
Who is Pierre Nkurunziza?

Why Burundi poll matters
"Ten years of dictatorship is too much", Mr Rwasa told the BBC, citing alleged corruption and extrajudicial killings as reasons why many Burundians now want change.
Mr Rwasa would not confirm whether he or other members of his opposition coalition Amizero y'Abarundi would be taking up the 30 seats they had been awarded in the parliamentary election, despite boycotting the vote.
The African Union (AU) did not send observers - the first time it has taken such a stance against a member state.
The US state department and the European Union expressed concern that the elections were not free and fair.
In May, army generals opposed to President Nkurunziza's continuing rule failed to overthrow him in a coup attempt.
Tensions between Burundi's ethnic Hutu majority - comprising some 85% of the 10.5 million population - and Tutsi minority have flared up regularly since independence from Belgium in 1962.
Mr Nkurunziza led a Hutu rebel group fighting the Tutsi-dominated army until a peace deal led to him becoming president in 2005.
The Constitutional Court backed his argument that his first term in office did not count towards the two-term limit, as he was elected by MPs.


The discount retailer Poundworld is to open a new distribution centre in West Yorkshire creating more than 300 jobs in the next three years, it has said.

The chain started with a market stall in Wakefield set up by Christopher Edwards in 1974.
Construction is due to start in the summer on a 30-acre (12 ha) site at Normanton, near junction 31 of the M62.
It is part of a plan to create about 3,500 jobs with a nationwide expansion of 200 stores over the same period.
The firm, which is based at Normanton, currently has more than 280 outlets, as well as 50 Bargain Buys shops. It employs more than 6,000 people.
The new distribution centre should be completed in autumn 2016, the retailer said.


Myanmar's parliament is meeting for the first time since Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) won an election landslide last week.

The session does not include new MPs - members who lost their seats remain in office until the end of January.
Ms Suu Kyi made no comment as she was mobbed by journalists at parliament.
She had earlier criticised the long handover, calling the constitution "very silly", but correspondents say she appears willing to bide her time.
If power is transferred, it will end more than 50 years of military-backed government in Myanmar, also known as Burma.
While they remain in parliament, the existing MPs can continue to pass laws - there are fears they could even set the budget a new opposition-led government will inherit next year.
Having won nearly 80% of contested seats, Ms Suu Kyi is expected to meet both the president and the commander in chief of the army to discuss arrangements for a transition.
Outgoing Speaker Shwe Mann, who lost his seat for the ruling USDP, has urged the party's lawmakers to do their "best for the people" in the remaining debates.
"Although we won't be coming back, we need to do our best to perform the responsibilities of lawmakers, truthfully and faithfully," he told the new session, Reuters reports.
Only once the "lame duck" session ends will the new NLD-dominated parliament gather. It will immediately choose a new Speaker, quite possibly Ms Suu Kyi, before selecting two vice-presidents and a president.
Does the NLD now control Myanmar?
Not really - it has enough seats in the upper and lower house to choose the president but the army has 25% of seats and controls key ministries, so they will need to work together.
Will Aung San Suu Kyi be president?
No - the constitution, written by the military, bars people with foreign spouses or offspring, as she does, from the top job. The clause was widely seen as being written specifically to prevent her from taking office. But Ms Suu Kyi has repeatedly said she would lead the country anyway if the NLD won.
Can the NLD just change the constitution?
No - the military can veto any moves to change it.
Was the election fair?
"Largely," said Ms Suu Kyi. But hundreds of thousands of people, including the minority Muslim Rohingya, were not allowed to vote, and no voting took place in seven areas where ethnic conflict is rife.
About 30 million people were eligible to vote in the election - turnout was estimated at about 80%.
It was widely seen as a fair vote though there were reports of irregularities, and hundreds of thousands of people - including the Muslim Rohingya minority, who are not recognised as citizens - were denied voting rights.


The man who shot dead two New York police officers told members of the public to "watch what I'm going to do" shortly before the attack, police say.

Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28, had a history of violence and mental instability.
Candlelit vigils have been held in New York in memory of officers Wenjian Liu, 32, and Rafael Ramos, 40.
Brinsley shot them as they sat in their patrol car in Brooklyn on Saturday before running into a subway station and shooting himself.
Hours earlier, he had shot and wounded his 29-year-old ex-girlfriend, Shaneka Thompson, at her home in Baltimore, Maryland, police said.
The New York Police Department's Chief of Detectives, Robert Boyce, said that for weeks before the shooting, Brinsley had posted anti-police and anti-government messages on his Instagram account referring to the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.
Protests erupted across the US last month after grand juries in Missouri and then New York declined to charge the white police officers who killed the two unarmed black men.
Chief Boyce said Brinsley had also shared his feelings of "self-despair and anger at himself and where his life was" in recent posts.
When he arrived in New York on Saturday - hours after shooting Ms Thompson in the stomach - Brinsley threatened on Instagram to kill police officers.
"They Take 1 of Ours... Let's Take 2 of Theirs #ShootThePolice #RIPEricGarner #RIPMike Brown," he continued before adding: "This May Be My Final Post."
Minutes before the attack, Brinsley struck up a conversation with two men, Chief Boyce said.
"He asked them for their gang affiliation; he asked them to follow him on Instagram; and then he says: 'Watch what I'm going to do.'"
He then walked past the patrol car with officers Liu and Ramos inside, circled it and, crossed the street and came up behind the car, Chief Boyce said.
He walked along the pavement before firing four bullets through the front passenger window, hitting both officers, and then ran.
Brinsley fled to a nearby subway station, where police said he shot himself in the head using his semi-automatic handgun.
Police departments in New York and several other cities were said to be operating on "high alert", fearful of copy-cat attacks.
The NYPD has suspended all auxiliary patrols for the time being, and police unions have told officers to respond to every radio call with two cars and to not make arrests "unless absolutely necessary", according to CBS News.
Forces are also monitoring social media for threats. In Memphis, Tennessee, a man was taken into custody after writing in a post that he was "driving to New York to kill more cops".
Meanwhile, the family of officer Ramos joined community leaders near their home in Brooklyn for a prayer vigil on Sunday.
His 13-year-old son, Jaden, wrote on Facebook: "It's horrible that someone gets shot dead just for being a police officer. Everyone says they hate cops but they are the people that they call for help."
Officer Ramos's cousin, Ronnie Gonzalez, said the family had already forgiven his killer.
Mr Gonzalez also said the family would not object to New York Mayor Bill de Blasio attending the funeral, adding: "We're not disrespectful. We're not going to throw him out and say: 'Don't be here.'"
The mayor has been criticised by unions over what they perceive as his lack of support and respect for the police amid the recent protests over the deaths of Mr Brown and Mr Garner.
Last week, the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association asked officers to sign a petition calling for Mr de Blasio to be barred from attending their funerals if they were killed in the line of duty.
And on Saturday night, several officers turned their back on Mr de Blasio as he entered a news conference about the shooting.


A Scottish schoolgirl who was seriously injured in the Manchester bomb attack is now able to eat and drink without the aid of a feeding tube.

The parents of 15-year-old Laura MacIntyre, from Barra, said she was making "small yet steady progress" but had a long recovery ahead of her.
Laura's friend Eilidh MacLeod was killed in the suicide attack last month after a concert by Ariana Grande.
A total of 22 people died at Manchester's MEN Arena.
In a message posted on a community Facebook page, Laura's family wrote: "Michael, Nan and family would like to thank everyone for their continued support for Laura.
"Laura is making small yet steady progress and every day sees some improvement in her condition. She is now managing to eat and drink which has enabled the removal of the feeding tube.
"She is being cared for exceptionally well by nursing and medical staff at Manchester's Children's Hospital. Laura has a long road ahead and we are extremely grateful for all the support."
Laura and Eilidh, both pupils at Castlebay Community School on Barra, had travelled to the concert with Eilidh's mother who was due to meet them afterwards.
In the days after the suicide attack it was confirmed that Eilidh was among the dead, while Laura was found in hospital. She was said to have suffered "horrendous injuries".
A funeral mass for Eilidh MacLeod was held on the isle of Barra on 5 June.


Ross Wilson has turned down the chance to become Rangers' director of football, BBC Scotland has learned.

The Scot is director of scouting and recruitment at Southampton and was offered the chance to lead the Ibrox side's playing structure.
But the 34-year-old has opted to remain in his role with the Premier League outfit.
Wilson was identified to become part of Rangers' new structure after manager Mark Warburton's exit.
Head of recruitment Frank McParland and assistant manager David Weir also left Ibrox early last month and McParland has since become director of football at Nottingham Forest.
Portuguese coach Pedro Caixinha has been linked with the managerial vacancy at Rangers.


Russia has said it will not tolerate "interference" by foreign organisations after it put a US pro-democracy foundation on a blacklist.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), funded by the US Congress, is the first organisation to be labelled "undesirable" under a new Russian law.
Russia's Foreign Ministry warned that "we will never tolerate mentoring and open interference in our affairs by foreign structures".
US officials condemned Russia's move.
The US Department of State called the blacklisting "a further example of the Russian government's growing crackdown on independent voices and another intentional step to isolate the Russian people from the world".
Russia's Foreign Ministry hit back by saying the NED's name was "deceptive" because "it is only non-governmental on paper, while in reality it has, from the moment it was set up, received funding from the US budget, including funding via the channels of intelligence bodies".
The ministry said that analysis of NED projects "shows that they are aimed at destabilising the internal situation in countries which pursue independent policies in line with their own national interests, rather than following instructions from Washington".
According to Russian official data, the NED gave financial assistance worth about $5.2m (Â£3.3m) to various Russian organisations in 2013-2014.
Russians can now face fines or up to six years in prison if they work for a non-governmental organisation (NGO) branded "undesirable".
Critics say it is a Kremlin move aimed at stifling dissent.
NGOs linked to politics in Russia already face restrictions under a 2012 law requiring them to register as "foreign agents".
President Vladimir Putin's United Russia party accuses some foreign governments of using NGOs in Russia as cover to engineer political change.

One of the winning stars was female rapper Paradise.
Dressed in a revealing black gown and diamond necklace, she performed her latest song, an impassioned denunciation of violence against women.
The hard-hitting lyrics cover taboo subjects like rape, domestic violence and self-immolation.
"Unfortunately women in Afghanistan face lots of troubles and we sing to give them a voice," Paradise told the BBC.


An Indian doctor is on a unique mission to save the female child - he waives his fee if a girl is born in his hospital.

Dr Ganesh Rakh calls it his "tiny contribution" to improving the lot of the girl child in a country where a traditional preference for boys and an easy availability of antenatal sex screening has resulted in a skewed gender ratio.
In 1961, there were 976 girls for every 1,000 boys under the age of seven. According to the latest census figures released in 2011, that figure has dropped to a dismal 914.
Dr Rakh, who started a small hospital in the western Indian city of Pune in 2007, says that whenever a pregnant woman came for her delivery, all her relatives would come with the hope that the baby would be a boy.
"The biggest challenge for a doctor is to tell relatives that a patient has died. For me, it was equally difficult to tell families that they'd had a daughter," he says.
This is the first article in  a BBC series Unsung Indians, profiling people who are working to improve the lives of others.
"They would celebrate and distribute sweets if a male child was born, but if a girl was born, the relatives would leave the hospital, the mother would cry, and the families would ask for a discount. They would be so disappointed.
"Many told me that they had taken treatment to ensure the birth of a male child. I was surprised, as I wasn't aware of any such treatment. But they spoke about consulting a holy man, or would talk of putting some medicine into the mother's nostril to ensure she delivered a boy."
The 2011 census figures were an eye-opener for Dr Rakh, who dotes upon his nine-year-old daughter, his only child. They made him realise how grim the situation really was.
Campaigners likened female foeticide to genocide, while then prime minister Manmohan Singh described it as a "national shame" and called for a "crusade" to save India's girls.
On 3 January 2012, Dr Rakh began his own "crusade" - by launching the Mulgi Vachva Abhiyan (which translates from Marathi into "campaign to save the girl child").
"I decided I would not charge any fee if a girl was born. Also, since a son's birth was celebrated by the family, we decided we [at the hospital] would celebrate a daughter's birth."
In the four years since he launched his campaign, 464 girls have been born in his hospital and he has not charged the parents any fee.
On the day I visited him, the hospital was celebrating the birth of Nisha and Rahul Khalse's first baby - a girl.
The parents, who had come from a village 50km (31 miles) from Pune, were yet to name her, but the hospital staff decided to call the one-day-old Angel.
Dr Rakh and his colleagues presented flowers to the parents, candles were lit, and a chocolate cake brought in. The staff and family gathered around, everyone clapped and sang "happy birthday Dear Angel".
"There are hospitals closer home, but we came here because Dr Rakh doesn't ask for money," says Rahul Khalse who works as a day labourer on construction sites.
"He's a good man," says his mother, Alka Shahji Khalse.
Dr Rakh says he didn't really plan on becoming a doctor - he actually wanted to be a wrestler.
"But my mother discouraged me - she said you'll overeat and finish everyone's food."
Her concern was genuine - his father worked as a porter in the grain market, carrying sacks on his back, while his mother cleaned dishes in other people's homes.  The family's meagre income was barely enough to feed Dr Rakh and his two brothers.
So he concentrated on becoming a doctor.
It was not an easy decision to waive his fee for the delivery of baby girls, and he was predictably opposed by his wife and brothers.
"We are economically not well off," his wife Trupti Rakh said. "So when he told me about his decision, I was worried as to how I would run the house."
But his father Adinath Vithal Rakh supported his decision whole-heartedly.
"He told me to continue with the good work. He said he would go back to work as a porter if needed," Dr Rakh says.
Today, his efforts have begun to bear fruit - ministers and government officials are appreciating his work and Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has described him as a "real hero".
"I started a small thing. I didn't know it would be received like this," he says, adding, "but sometimes small things impact minds in a big way".
Over the past few months, he has contacted doctors around the country, asking them to do at least one free delivery and, he says, many have pledged support.
He has also been organising marches through Pune's streets to convince people that a daughter is as precious as a son.
"I want to change attitudes - of people, doctors. The day people start celebrating a daughter's birth, I'll start charging my fee again. Otherwise, how will I run my hospital?" he asks.


Japanese firm Hitachi is creating 150 jobs at its newly built train service depot at Stoke Gifford near Bristol.

The Â£80m facility, near Bristol Parkway station, will house the new InterCity Express Trains which will run on the Great Western route later this year.
Hitachi Rail Europe (HRE) said it wanted to recruit people with a "wide range of experiences and backgrounds" ahead of its fleet coming into service.
Four apprentices a year will also be taken on once the site is operational.
The first wave of new trains is being built at HRE's UK train manufacturing facility at Newton Aycliffe in County Durham.
Work carried out at the Stoke Gifford depot will include readying trains for passenger services, inspecting the fleet and servicing it.
Gary Martin, Stoke Gifford depot manager, said as well as building new trains and depots it was also "investing in a new generation of rail workers".
"We want the widest range of talents and skills as we gear up towards the new trains coming into service later this year," he said.

Cambridge United boss Shaun Derry has hailed his side after their extra-time win over Championship club Sheffield Wednesday in the EFL Cup.

Piero Mingoia's brilliant long-range equaliser in stoppage time was added to by Luke Berry's 118th-minute winner.
"There were some really mighty performances by everybody connected with the club," Derry said.
"As the game developed, and especially into extra time, I felt we deserved it and looked like the strongest side."
It was the first time the U's had won a League Cup tie in 14 years - the last victory coming against Reading in September 2002.
"I'd have been proud to take it to penalties and proud of my team regardless of how it would have ended after penalties," Derry added to BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.
"But to get the winning goal with a couple of minutes to spare that just tells everybody what we're about.
"We've got a desire and a togetherness that makes a manager very proud."


The only 50m swimming pool in the West Midlands is to close and be replaced by a new £37m leisure centre, under plans revealed by Coventry City Council.

The authority has recommended that the Fairfax Street sport centre should shut following a consultation.
About 11,000 people signed a petition to keep the Olympic-sized pool.
The new centre in New Union street will have a 25m pool instead because it could not afford to build and run a 50m pool, the authority said.
It would mean the region would not have a 50m pool until one opens at the University of Birmingham in 2016.
Excavation work has been completed on the Olympic-sized pool on Bristol Road as part of a £55m sports complex, which the university said would be open to the public, as well as its students.
Coventry City Council said its new leisure centre would also have a water park with slides, a fitness suite, climbing wall, squash courts and a spa.
It said the new plan had been drawn up following a six-week public consultation.
Kevin Maton, cabinet member for business, enterprise and employment, said: "If the money was there, of course we'd love to provide a 50m pool in the city centre but we're simply not able to justify the expense to taxpayers."
Jo Deakin, from Coventry Swimming Club, who helped organise the petition, said: "It feels like people's views haven't been listened to.
"[The council] haven't done a feasibility report into having a 50m pool at the new site so we're a bit puzzled as to why more information hasn't been gathered and why they haven't talked to other cities that have them."
The plans are expected to be finalised by the city council on 5 August.


Britain's Chris Froome is aiming to become only the third man to win the Vuelta a Espana in the same year as the Tour de France.

The four-time Tour winner has finished runner-up three times at the Vuelta and says he has "unfinished business".
Only French greats Jacques Anquetil (1963) and Bernard Hinault (1978) have won both races in the same year.
This year's Vuelta covers more than 3,300km (2,050 miles) over 21 stages and features nine summit finishes, including the feared Angliru.
The 72nd edition of the race started in Nimes - just the third time it has begun outside of Spain.
Winner: BMC Racing
Report: Team Sky finish fourth on first stage
Chris Froome makes a solid start to his quest to become the first rider in almost 40 years to complete the Tour de France-Vuelta a Espana double. The Briton's Team Sky squad finish fourth but crucially he beats all his rivals for the overall victory. BMC Racing's Rohan Dennis will wear the race leader's red jersey after crossing the line first in the winning team.
Winner: Yves Lampaert (Bel/Quick-Step Floors)
Report: Lampaert wins stage two to take Vuelta lead
A flat stage that looked on paper set to end in a bunch sprint had a surprise winner as Yves Lampaert capitalised on expert work from his Quick-Step team in the crosswinds late on to break away, win the stage and take the leader's red jersey. The race largely stayed together until the high winds in the final 10km, with the decisive splits occurring 2km from the finish. Chris Froome missed the first split, losing eight seconds to rival Vincenzo Nibali, but gained five more seconds on Alberto Contador and Romain Bardet.
Winner: Vincenzo Nibali (Ita/Bahrain-Merida)
Report: Froome takes Vuelta lead after stage three
Chris Froome became the new leader of the Vuelta a Espana on Monday after finishing third in the mountainous stage three as Italian Vincenzo Nibali snatched the stage win in the final 400m of the race in the Pyrenees in Andorra.
Winner: Matteo Trentin (Ita/Quick-Step Floors)
Report: Trentin wins stage four as Froome retains lead
The peloton left Andorra on a largely flat route, ending in the first stage finish in Spain of this year's race. Stephane Rossetto and Diego Rubio attacked the early break with 70km remaining but were caught inside the final 10km. Matteo Trentin won the bunch sprint - he has now won a stage in all three Grand Tours - while Britain's Chris Froome retained the leader's red jersey.
Winner: Alexey Lutsenko (Kaz/Astana)
Report: Froome extends lead as Lutsenko wins
Leader Chris Froome says he learned "a lot about his rivals" as he improved his advantage over the rest of the field. Lutsenko's biggest victory of his career came after he went off the front of a breakaway group and kept the chasers at bay.
Winner: Tomasz Marczynski (Pol/Lotto-Soudal)
Report: Froome extends overall lead by one second
Another day for the breakaway and Poland's Tomasz Marczynski claims his first Grand Tour stage winning the three-man sprint for the line. Tejan van Garderen, Chris Froome's nearest rival before the stage, crashes twice to lose time as Esteban Chaves moves up to second overall.
Winner: Matej Mohoric (Slo/UAE Team Emirates)
Report: Froome maintains 11-second lead
Matej Mohoric, 22, produced a stunning finish, breaking clear 10km from the finish line to win his first Grand Tour stage. There was little change in the general classification with Chris Froome finishing safely in the bunch alongside his rivals to maintain his slender advantage.
Winner: Julian Alaphilippe (Fra/Quick-Step Floors)
Report: Froome attacks rivals to extend lead
Chris Froome attacks his rivals late in the day on a testing climb prior to a steep descent to the finish line to extend his lead to 28 seconds over Esteban Chaves. France's Julian Alaphilippe took victory on the 199km stage eight.
Winner: Chris Froome (Team Sky/GB)
Report: Froome wins stage to further extend race lead
Chris Froome attacks 500m from the finish on an uphill drag to take his first stage win of this year's race and move a few more seconds clear of his general classification rivals. The Briton now leads Colombia's Esteban Chaves by 36 seconds after delivering another psychological blow to those chasing the overall victory.
Monday, 28 August - rest day, Provincia de Alicante
Winner: Matteo Trentin (Quick-Step Floors/Ita)
Report: Froome retains Vuelta lead as Trentin wins stage
Italian rider Matteo Trentin pulls clear of a 15-man breakaway to beat Jose Joaquin Rojas and Jaime Roson Garcia to the line and claim his second stage victory of the race. Britain's Chris Froome retains his overall lead, with Ireland's Nicolas Roche moving into a share of second place with Colombian Esteban Chaves.
The stage: While the breakaway riders will no doubt be excited about the possibility of an attack going all the way to the finish, expect those chasing overall victory to reel them in on the final climb. The race has reached its midway point and those hoping to stand on the top step in Madrid will need to start clawing back any time they may have lost so far.
Rider to watch: Esteban Chaves- he cannot afford to lose any more time to Chris Froome and knows he needs to get ahead of him, particularly with an individual time trial to come, when he will lose more time to the Briton.
The stage: Another day with the potential for a breakaway to succeed. Neither climb is serious enough to create gaps in the general classification but both are well placed for attacks to stick.
Rider to watch: Adam Hansen - the Australian is riding in a record 19th successive Grand Tour - he has finished each of the previous 18. The Lotto-Soudal rider was not in his team's initial squad but was drafted in after an injury to Rafael Valls. He is a breakaway specialist and may fancy repaying his team's faith.
The stage: A break. A catch. A sprint. On paper. The general classification riders will be hoping the day is that simple as they try to shelter in the peloton, preserving energy, for the bigger battles to come.
Rider to watch: Sacha Modolo - the Italian comes into the race in decent form, having won stage two at the Tour of Poland in late July.
The stage: The first hors categorie climb of this year's Vuelta could shake up the general classification but will those riders also be fighting it out for the stage win? Much will depend on the state of the race and the time gaps of the leading contenders.
Rider to watch: Fabio Aru - the Italian won the Vuelta in 2015 and if he harbours hopes of repeating that win he will need a strong showing in the Sierra mountains.
The stage: The biggest day in the mountains so far as the Vuelta reaches its roof. The final two climbs basically morph into one monster of around 30km. Who will show their hand first? A rest day follows so there are no excuses for not leaving everything out on the road.
Rider to watch: Romain Bardet - according to Strava, the Frenchman holds the record for the quickest ascent at a little over 96 minutes. However, the AG2R rider, who finished third at the Tour de France, is tackling a second Grand Tour in the same year for the first time. With a 40km individual time trial coming up after the rest day - his weak spot - he knows he needs to be ahead after today if he hopes to win the title.
Monday, 4 September - rest day, Logrono
The stage: Following an 800km rest-day transfer from the south of Spain to the north, the riders must tackle the only individual race against the clock in the Vuelta. There's nothing too tricky here but the time gaps could well be significant between those that can time trial and those that cannot.
Rider to watch: Ilnur Zakarin - the Russian time trial champion is making his Vuelta debut. He was fifth at the Giro d'Italia in May and could claw back time on the better climbers. Today's stage will also give Chris Froome an excellent chance to either catch up if he's lagging, or extend his advantage if leading.
The stage: After a relatively quiet first half, the stage explodes into life on the descent from Portillo de Lunada. The final ascent is the shortest of the day but deserving of its hors categorie status with gradients of 31% near the bottom, 15% in the middle and 12.5% at the top. The concrete-paved road has gaps every foot or so to help cars gain traction in wet or icy conditions. They are not likely to help cyclists though. Any rider having an off day will lose significant amounts of time.
Rider to watch: Adam Yates - he has a best Grand Tour finish of fourth at the 2016 Tour de France, in the process becoming the first British rider to win the best young rider jersey (a feat matched by his twin brother Simon this year). He is an expert climber and will need to be on a good day if hopes to make the podium in Madrid.
The stage: After the exertions of the previous day, the general classification riders may well take it easy and allow the breakaway specialists their fun. That's not to say they won't be keeping tabs on each other on another punchy finish. Crucial seconds could still be won or lost on the final 3.2km ascent.
Rider to watch: David de la Cruz - the Spaniard won a similar finish on stage nine to take the race lead last year, on his way to seventh overall. That victory will have earned him respect within the peloton though and he may not be allowed the freedom again.
The stage: The general classification riders will undoubtedly have one eye on the stage that follows this and that will mean another day where the breakaway could stay clear. However, they will be watching each other on the final climb and descent to make sure nobody tries to sneak clear.
Rider to watch: Thomas de Gendt - chances are the Belgian will already have been on the attack several times during the race but this stage looks tailor-made for his aggressive style of riding.
The stage: The finishing ascent of the Angliru has only featured in the Vuelta six previous times but has already reached legendary status. It is where Bradley Wiggins lost the race leader's red jersey in 2011 to Juan Jose Cobo, who would go on to win the race - Wiggins would finish third overall, behind then Team Sky team-mate Chris Froome who recorded the first of his three runners-up spots. In 2002, fellow Briton David Millar's protest led to his disqualification from the race.
The 13.2km climb has an average gradient of around 10% with sections at 24%. Alberto Contador won here in 2008 on his way to overall victory. The race could well be won, or lost, on the penultimate stage of the race.
Rider to watch: Chris Froome - will the Briton become the third rider to win the Tour-Vuelta double in the same year? Jacques Anquetil (1963) and Bernard Hinault (1978) are the only others to accomplish the feat, although before 1995, the Vuelta preceded the Tour. We will know by the end of the stage with Sunday's finish in Madrid largely processional.
The stage: Tradition dictates the leader of the race will not be challenged as the peloton reaches Madrid for nine circuits of the Spanish capital and a bunch sprint finish.
Rider to watch: Alberto Contador - the seven-time Grand Tour winner is retiring after the race. He is one of only six riders to win all three Grand Tours and he is sure to be given a warm welcome as the race reaches its conclusion.


So Plaid Cymru has continued where it left off at the end of the last assembly term when it brought Labour's public health legislation crashing down.

Now there's deadlock over the nomination of the next first minister.
Any idea that there could be a harmonious working relationship between Labour and Plaid over the next five years has been well and truly put to bed.
The damage to Labour is clear. On the first day of the assembly, it does not appear to be in control of the situation.
There is a difference between a minority government calling the shots and an administration being bounced around by the opposition parties.
If Labour can't put together a government when it wants to, the inevitable question is what that means for prospects for completing what it called the "decade of delivery" in the election campaign.
The danger for Plaid is also clear, and revolves around the question of how toxic the association with UKIP will be for the party.
Labour has already printed leaflets saying Leanne Wood has betrayed voters in the Rhondda, while Labour staffers have been busy taking screen-grabs of any images highlighting Plaid's claims that it wouldn't work with UKIP.
We are into the territory of semantics on when a deal is a deal.
Neil Hamilton says he was approached by Plaid on Monday.
Plaid insists there was no deal because no offer was made to UKIP. In other words, what UKIP and the Tories decide to do is up to them. As Plaid's Rhun ap Iorwerth said, this situation developed "organically."
The Labour line is that opening up any lines of communication between the two parties is not in the spirit of the campaign run by Leanne Wood.
This is partly wrapped up in the drama of the roll-call.
It's not as if the UKIP and the Conservative AMs voted for Leanne Wood in an anonymous electronic way, but instead each and every one of them called out Leanne Wood's name in the chamber.
This is what we know of the timeline of events. Leanne Wood asked Carwyn Jones on Tuesday for the nomination to be delayed by a week. He refused but offered Plaid a role in future budgets and legislation.
This wasn't good enough for Plaid so Labour went further on Wednesday and agreed to pull all its candidates for the job of presiding officer out of the race.
Labour says Carwyn Jones then repeatedly tried to call Leanne Wood yesterday before the nomination without getting through.
Where does it go from here?
What Labour has put on the table is the chance for Plaid to play a formal role in the next budget and any new legislation. At this stage, nothing new is planned.
Plaid has refused to say exactly what it wants, other than more time.
The party is boxed in by making it clear it doesn't want to enter a coalition with Labour, and obviously it can't enter into formal talks with the Conservatives and UKIP.
My sense is that Plaid will feel it is "job done" and Labour has been given a fright. But it could put the squeeze on even further with new demands.
It's fascinating already but if Plaid, for example, was to go to Labour and insist that the proposed Â£1bn M4 relief road at Newport should be scrapped - as a starter for ten - then things really could get interesting.

Officials in charge of a southern Chinese town have cancelled plans to build an incinerator after mass protests this week.

Thousands had demonstrated on Monday and Tuesday at a town near Luoding city in Guandong province, some clashing violently with police.
Officials pleaded for calm on Wednesday night and promised to halt the plan.
It is the latest case of officials backing down in the face of public anger over plant construction projects.
The BBC's Martin Patience in Beijing says China's middle class is increasingly aware of the huge environmental cost of breakneck development, and authorities are facing growing opposition when they propose to build industrial plants close to cities or towns.
According to reports, Luoding officials had planned to build an incinerator that would burn 300 tonnes of rubbish a day in Langtang town, which comes under the city's jurisdiction.
A deal was signed with a local cement factory, but residents reportedly grew concerned that the plan had gone through without adequate environmental checks and approvals.
Demonstrators gathered at the cement factory on Monday and Tuesday.
The protests reportedly grew violent, with cars overturned and debris hurled at riot police. Hong Kong media outlet Now News broadcast footage showing scuffles.
US based NTDTV.com reported that at least 10 people were injured and more than 20 were arrested. It ran pictures showing injured protesters and others attacking a local police station.
City officials later issued a statement (in Chinese) saying that there had been a "misunderstanding" and that the plan would be cancelled "as a response to the people's requests".
They also issued a letter to residents calling on them to "not resort to aggressive behaviour" and to refrain from destroying public property.
Our correspondent says many Chinese are worried about the safety and environmental impact of big industrial plants.
This week, hundreds of firefighters have been battling a series of fires erupting and reigniting at a chemical plant in Zhangzhou city in Fujian province. The latest fire was put out early on Thursday.
More than 30,000 people have been evacuated from the city's surrounding areas. Authorities have insisted that there has been no contamination.
In March a documentary on China's air pollution problem called Under the Dome, made by renowned investigative journalist Chai Jing, took the country by storm and garnered millions of views online in days.


Striking unions could face restrictions on their use of social media, the TUC's general secretary has told the BBC.

A consultation document linked to the proposed Trade Union Bill suggests unions involved in industrial action should give two weeks notice if they plan to campaign via social media.
Frances O'Grady said an attack on trade unions was "unfinished business" for "some elements within governments".
Ministers said any restrictions would not apply to posts by individuals.
The proposed restrictions are part of wider proposals to tighten the law on strikes, which ministers say will reduce disruption for the public.
The consultation document suggests unions taking industrial action must give notice of "whether it will be using social media, specifically Facebook, Twitter, blogs, setting up websites and what those blogs and websites will set out".
The outline of the Trade Union Bill was published last month - including proposals for a minimum 50% turnout in any strike ballot - but the finer details of the proposals are subject to a consultation period.
Ms O'Grady said: "I think most people feel that the police should be out there catching burglars.
"We shouldn't be wasting police time, and I suspect many police officers... would rather be out doing the job that they joined the police service to do, rather than checking Facebook pages and Twitter accounts.
"I think there are elements in the government who see an attack on trade unions as unfinished business, but I don't think the country is with them and I think there are growing concerns about the civil liberties implications of trying to undermine fundamental rights, human rights, like the right to strike."
Minister for Trade Unions, Nick Boles, said while the ability to strike is important, there should be a balance between the interests of union members and those who depend on their services.
"People have the right to know that the services on which they and their families rely will not be disrupted at short notice by strikes supported by a small proportion of union members," he added.


Shirley Ballas has been confirmed as the new judge on BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing.

Shirley will take over from Len Goodman as Head Judge and will have the deciding vote in the dance-off.
Len announced last year that he was stepping down at the end of the 14th series.
Shirley Ballas said, "I am so excited and over the moon to have been given this wonderful opportunity. Strictly is so loved by the British public, I have always been a massive fan.  I just can't wait!"
Shirley Ballas is a British-born Ballroom and Latin dancer and international coach.
The 56-year-old grew up in Wallasey, England.
Nicknamed the 'Queen of Latin', Shirley is one of the most successful professional dancers in the world.
She is three-time 'British Open to the World' Latin American Champion, 10-time United States Latin American Champion, and multiple-times British National Champion.
By the age of 21, Shirley had won nearly every major title she competed in worldwide.
She retired from competitive dancing in 1996 but went on to become a top coach to other dancers, and a judge for Ballroom and Latin American competitions all around the world.
Her family are pretty good at dancing too. Shirley's son, Mark Ballas, is a professional dancer and has won the American version of Strictly twice.


More than 250 new jobs are being created in south Wales, the first in a series of announcements this week.

The jobs at four firms include 100 at BT's call centre in Swansea and 50 posts at a healthcare firm in Crumlin.
They come just days after Wales failed to secure a large defence investment from Boeing UK for a centre of excellence and up to 1,500 jobs.
Economy Secretary Ken Skates said it was "disappointing" Cardiff Airport missed out on Boeing's hub.
The 256 new jobs involve:
It is the first in a series of job announcements being made this week by Mr Skates.
He said it was an indication of the "hard work going on behind the scenes" by the Welsh Government.
Mr Skates said: "It's particularly important to recognise that every part of Wales needs to benefit from economic growth so I'm keen to announce through this themed week, job creation packages in every area of the country."
BBI Group began in 1986 as a Cardiff University spin-out company and now has a £60m turnover.
It produces enzymes and assays for use in diagnostics for a wide range of diseases.
SPC operations director Paul Hallas said its new facility was "the latest phase of our expansion plans for the growing business".
What they produce is sold across the world to firms which make diagnostic kits for anything from hospital blood tests, to home kits for people with diabetes.
It is a growing sector and one company they supply make 6bn diagnostics strips a year.
The company took over a site in Blaenavon which has been operating since 1974 and some of the staff have been there for more than 30 years.
They are skilled jobs, many have science degrees and all are paid above average for Wales.
The news comes as it emerged Wales had failed to secure a large investment from Boeing UK.
Instead, the US aerospace giant confirmed to BBC Wales that the jobs and  investment are going to Wiltshire and that a site at Cardiff Airport came second.
Aerospace is an industry which the Welsh Government has called a priority sector.
There are already 160 aerospace companies in Wales employing 23,000 people, many of whom will earn wages above average.
"We got down to the final two," said Mr Skates.
"We're in a strong position should opportunities emerge from Boeing. However, the fact we reached that point demonstrates we're ahead of most of the competition in most of the sectors."
He said the Ministry of Defence presence in that area was an attraction to Boeing, and Wales had beaten off a huge number of investment areas across Britain to get close to winning the deal.
Many more people are working in Wales than recent years and Welsh unemployment levels have been below the UK average for many months.
The ONS figures published in January show there were 24,000 more people working in Wales than a year earlier but 18,000 fewer than the previous three months.
Clearly it is good news for the extra individuals who are now in work and good for the wider economy that unemployment in Wales is now below the UK rate.
The weakness in the Welsh economy is low productivity and low wages.
The most recent official Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings figures from ONS for April 2016 show middle income workers (median earnings) in Wales earn £492.40 a week compared with £538.70 for the UK as a whole.
That is the second lowest average earnings of all the 12 nations and regions of the UK.
Mr Skates said it was about focusing on priority jobs and sectors such as financial and professional  services - which were bringing "incredible results" - and advanced manufacturing.
He told BBC Wales he also wants people, once in work, to develop their skill levels to "rise up the escalator of economic activity" to become more prosperous.
