Half time - Mid Ulster 1 Linfield 1
Linfield took the lead after 52 minutes when Rachel Kerr produced a fine finish following good build up play.
Linfield pressed for another goal to make the game safe but a Mid Ulster team battling against relegation defended heroically, repeatedly throwing bodies on the line to keep the ball out and they were rewarded for their gallant efforts with an 87th minute equaliser.
A Mid Ulster player went down in the box and the referee pointed to the spot with O’Donnell tucking the penalty away to seal a point.
A disappointing night for Linfield ahead of the season’s final game away to Glentoran at Ashfield on Friday.
Final score - Mid Ulster 2 Linfield 2
