Paul O'Neill gave the hosts the lead from the penalty spot, but goals either side of half-time from Pat Hoban turned the game on its head before the striker was sent off following an altercation with Ryan, who netted the rebound after his spot kick was saved.
James Akitunde scored a last-minute winner as Coleraine came from behind to beat Portadown 2-1 at the Showgrounds.

Ballymena United's game against Crusaders was postponed, the fifth game at the Warden Street Showgrounds to fall victim to the weather in 2026.
Late drama at Inver Park
Larne took the lead just after the 20 minute mark when Andrew Mills came charging out of his goal to try to beat O'Neill to the ball, but he clattered the Larne striker.
O'Neill then dusted himself down to score the spot kick, despite Mills getting a hand to it.
Glentoran got a stroke of good fortune just before the break when Marcus Kane's low strike from outside the box took a fortuitous deflection off Hoban and wrong-footed Rohan Ferguson for an equaliser.
It was that man Hoban again who flipped the game on its head less than five minutes after the restart. The former Derry City striker met James Singleton's beautiful ball to the back post and put the visitors ahead.
Singleton then struck the post himself before Larne had a big penalty claim when Jarlath O'Rourke looked to have used a hand to block Ryan's header on the line.
Ryan was involved in another controversial incident from the resulting corner when he and Hoban clashed with the Glentoran forward denied his chance at a hat-trick as he was shown a straight red card with a quarter of an hour remaining for his part in the coming-together.
Despite this, it was Glentoran who had a big chance to seal the three points late on, but Jordan Jenkins couldn't beat Ferguson one-on-one.
That would come back to bite them as, deep in stoppage time, MJ Kamson-Kamara handled in his own box to give Larne another penalty.
Ryan stepped up and, after his effort was saved initially by Mills, he buried the rebound to seal a point.
Glentoran were shown a second red card after the final whistle as Ryan Cooney was too vociferous with his views towards Shane Andrews.
Akitunde the hero for Bannsiders
The visitors opened the scoring midway through the opening half thanks to Josh Ukek's third goal of the season.
A Coleraine free-kick deep in Portadown territory was cleared by Steven McCullough as far as the striker standing midway inside the Coleraine half.
He still had plenty to do, but showed great pace and skill to evade the Coleraine defence before firing low past Ryan Schofield into the far corner of the net.
The Ports had chances to add to their tally in the opening 45 minutes, but Schofield produced a fine reflex save to deny Luke Wilson while Jack Scott's goal bound shot was well blocked by Mark Connolly.
Chances were few and far between at the other end, Will Patching coming closest for the hosts with a well-struck volley which was brilliantly palmed away by Alex Moore.
The Portadown goalkeeper produced a string of fine saves immediately after half-time, twice denying Joel Cooper and diving high to his right to palm away Patching's 30 yard free-kick.
He was powerless to prevent the former Linfield man drawing the hosts level with 15 minutes remaining, however.
Ben Wylie cut in off the right wing, laid the ball off to Cooper and the midfielder did the rest, drilling a low left-foot shot low into the bottom corner from 25 yards.
Just when it seemed the game was going to end in a draw, the home side hit the front deep in added time when Akintunde somehow got on the end of a Patching free-kick to spark wild scenes of delight in front of the Railway End.
Blues hit Swifts for six
After an end-to-end opening 20 minutes, it was the Blues who broke the deadlock as Fitzpatrick slotted home.
Ethan McGee did well to stride forward and cut through the heart of the Dungannon midfield, before finding Fitzpatrick, who beat the offside trap and fired home across goal with his right foot.
The Blues doubled their lead three minutes before the break through Kyle McClean, who made no mistake from a relatively tight angle after being fed by Adam Frizzell.
Linfield added a third on 62 minutes, with substitute Isaac Baird firing home from close range with his first touch after some lovely work down the right from McGee.
Fitzpatrick added his second 15 minutes from time with a lovely flick into the bottom corner, before he completed his hat-trick 12 minutes later with a superb finish from a tight angle to make it 17 goals for the season.
Substitute Sean Brown put the icing on the cake for David Healy's side, thumping home from the edge of the box.
Carrick's league winning run continue
Carrick went ahead on 15 minutes as a ball down the right wing sent Paul Heatley clear. He then cut back inside and curled a left-footed effort high into the left-side of the net for his ninth goal of the season.
Glenavon had to wait until the 22nd minute for their first chance. Paul McGovern's cross from the right seemed harmless, but Luke McCullough almost diverted into his own net. Thankfully, for him, Scott Pengelly saved well in goal.
On 35 minutes, a second goal arrived for the hosts and it was the captain, McCullough.
Aidan Steele delivered from the right and the defender rose highest to head into the right-hand side of the goal from 12 yards.
Things got worse for Glenavon when they were reduced to 10 men. Niall Quinn received a straight red card for a challenge on Heatley, who was through on goal.
However, on 76 minutes Glenavon were thrown a lifeline. Carrick failed to deal with a long ball forward and could only half-clear to McGovern on the edge of the area.
He slid the ball inside to Campbell, who rifled home from 20 yards, but it would be Carrick who would hang on for the three points.
Reds see off Bangor
After a tentative opening in north Belfast, the visitors should have opened the scoring when Ben Arthurs rounded Lewis Ridd after a slack Kyle McClelland back pass, but he was denied by a sliding goal-line clearance from Jonny Addis.
Five minutes before the break, Arthurs went close again as he met Reece Neale's cross, but could only watch his effort drift the wrong side of the post.
Moments later, Lee Feeney's men were made to pay when Conor Pepper found Joe Gormley on the edge of the penalty area and the veteran striker shifted the ball onto his right before finding the bottom corner.
Just before the hour, the away side equalised in bizarre fashion when Addis blocked Stephen Fallon's shot from inside the penalty area, only for it to deflect off Pepper and into the net.
Cliftonville restored their advantage less than a minute later when Gormley headed Rory Hale's left-wing cross into the path of Michael Glynn, who fired home via the woodwork.
Substitute Brian Healy gave the Reds a two-goal cushion when Callum McCay drove at the heart of the Bangor defence before slipping the ball in behind for Healy to slot past a helpless Gareth Deane.
Bangor had the chance to reduce the deficit minutes later from the penalty spot, but Harry Lynch's tame effort down the middle was easily saved by Ridd.
