The Bucks ought to have added a third but somehow, Brearey and his defensive colleagues have kept them out at close range, Hilton and Stenson both having efforts denied.

Bucks corner on the left.
The ball goes in to the near post, it's partially cleared and DAH wins a challenge to divert the ball back to Walker, who took the corner. His second effort whistles high, wide and not especially handsome.

The Bucks have tied this game up with a super effort from Dylan Allen-Hadley, whose low strike from the left of the box flies past Brearey and settles in his bottom left corner.
Level - a great hit from Dylan!

Matty Stenson's low drive on the turn from the right of the box strikes the inside of Brearey's right post and bounces clear. Seconds late the Bucks work the ball through the defence on the Bucks' right and Dyer smashes an effort across goal and wide of the post.
Controversy!
Thompson's far post cross from the left is knocked back across goal, the Bucks haven't dealt with that situation and at the opposite post, a Brakes man gets a touch and they claim the goal, the officials say 'No".
Some tidy Bucks play after an initial overhit cross from Meddows sees Williams, Fletcher and Dyer work the ball in a triangle and Dyer crosses, Brearey makes a safe claim at his near post.
Stenson and Tomlinson battle for Alex Fletcher's lofted through ball into the Brakes' half. Tomlinson gets the better of Matty on that occasion.
