We'll play a final 8 minutes of additional time...

Buxton throwing everything they can at this, as the ball is played across for the hosts - there's no-one there and it will be an attacking Buxton throw.

'

Stenson away there temporarily there as the ball was cleared to halfway. He pokes it away from the oncoming defender, but is pulled up for a high foot.

'

The goal - whch came completely against the run of play - has re-invigorated Telford, who return to their high press seen in the opening munutes. Stenson powers through the Buxton defence but overruns it and Young collects.

'

It's an absolute sucker punch from Telford - Walker steals the ball high up the pitch. He feeds Adan George, who rounds goalkeeper Young and slots in for the second goal.

'
GGGGOOOOOAAAALLLLLL

GGGGOOOOOAAAALLLLLL

George with a brace!!!

GGGGOOOOOAAAALLLLLL

CHANCE;

Brennan again goes to the byline down the Buxton left. A Telford man puts it over the bar for a corner - it's a free header but it's been sent wide of Gracey's left post. A let off for Telford.

'

Cranston picks up a booking after a tussle with a Buxton player.

OFF: Greaves; ON: Hill

'

A long diagonal balls frees Johnston in behind, 1:1 with Gracey. The ball is squared but Telford have sufficient men back to deal with the threat and subsequently clear.

'

Nasty clash of heads between Telford's Walker and Buxton's Smith - both physios onto the pitch to administer treatment.

'

Bucks under pressure here as Buxton seem to be first to every ball. The ball is fired in by Meddows to the far post - the 3G mast is blocking our view so not entirely sure what happened there - Telford chance.

'

A quick long throw frees Johnston in behind the defence. His cross is cut out by a Telford man for a corner, and a second, which Gracey collects.

'

A Cawthorne foul on the edge of the area allows Martin to send it in. A deflected shot leads to a goalline scramble where Telford force it behind for a corner. Telford are able to clear the resulting ball in.

'

Remi Walker does well to take the ball away from a defender, winning a free kick on this near side. It's sent in by Cranston and not dealt with. Cleared at the 2nd time of asking by Buxton.

We're back underway for the second half....

HALF TIME:

HALF TIME:

It's a solid half from Telford who got the early goal here in Derbyshire and controlled early stages of the game. Buxton have grown back into it and have had plenty of chances at the other end.

'

George is released but he's gone slightly too early and is caught offside. When Telford get the ball, it's one-touch football and they're playing it around nicely.

'

We will play a minimum of four minutes of additional time...

'

Brennan gets it to the byline, cleared by a Telford head at the back post. It comes back to Robinson who lets fly with the outside of his boot - it heads narrowly wide of Telford's left hand post.

'

Stenson heads into the book for elbowing a Buxton player when jumping for the ball.

'

Buxton work a chance on the far side. The shot/cross comes in and is collected by a diving Gracey, who appears to have injured himself slightly in the process. He'll receive some treatment whilst both sides take drinks.

'

Stenson is caught offside for the second time in five minutes as they appear to be sitting back slightly here - aiming to hit Buxton on the break.

'

Kirby gets away from Piggott who is forced to concede a corner, Gracey punches and the returning shot form Martin is blocked - Telford clear.

'

Trouble on the edge of the box for Telford as 2-3 defenders struggle to make a clean take. Shot eventually comes in but no trouble for Gracey.

'

Brennan takes it down nicely and takes it away from the Telford defence. He works it into an opportunity on his right foot but sends it high and wide of the Telford net.

'

Stoppage here as the referee consults fellow officials - the teams will take on drinks. He summons both captains, Play to resume with a Telford throw

'

Buxton with an extended stint of possession here - Telford shape and pressing pushes them backwards. They eventually work a cross in from their right, but it's overhit and out for a throw.

'

The Telford press has been effective in this opening 20 minutes. Remi Walker this time is the one to turn over possession high up the field - Buxton struggling to keep possession and making unforced errors as a result.

'

CHANCE:

Remi Walker with a lovely cross in from the right. Stenson tries to get something on it but it's turned away for a corner by the Buxton defender.

'

CHANCE:

The Buxton winger skips away from Piggott and manages a cross in from the byline. A Buxton header finds it from 10 yards out, but it's not an effort to trouble Gracey.

'

Telford have lined up in what appears to be a 5-3-2 formation here - a similar setup to how they finished the game against Altricham last time out.

'

A quick break there from Telford as Dyer drives into midfield, finds Stenson who frees Meddows down the right. The ball is squared and George a lovely finish past the keeper.

'
GOOOOAAAALLLLL:

GOOOOAAAALLLLL:

And what a start that is!

GOOOOAAAALLLLL:
'

Buxton with an early chance to get the ball into the area following a George foul. Collected safely by Gracey.
