Worcester City 2 AFC Telford 1 - Report

Analysis

Former Baggies striker Lee Hughes opened the scoring with a cheeky back-heel from inside Telford's box. He picked up on a loose ball, after a cross from the right wing, and fired low into the left corner.

Bradley Reid had a good chance to score two minutes earlier after darting down the left wing with the goal in his sight. He fired low towards the bottom right corner but it rolled just wide of the post.

Although Telford went down a goal earlier on, they looked the more threatening team in the first half.

A great attacking move from Telford involving more than a dozen passes ended with Reid seeing his close shot saved.

Ben Bailey then had his shot from the corner headed off the line, before Worcester's Junior English broke for the home side with a powerful run.

The second half descended into heated scenes soon after kick-off, which saw the referee brandish three yellow cards following the disorder. Telford's Bailey and David Hibbert was booked alongside Worcester's Connor Hughes.

Defender Luca Havern equalised for the Bucks with a powerful header from a Telford corner, sending the away fans into jubilant celebrations.

Worcester's substitute Chekaine Steele looked dangerous going forward in attack. He had a few good chances on goal which needed quick reactions from James Montgomery.

The home fans protested furiously when Steele went down in Telford's box in the dying minutes after he was pulled down by Dwayne Samuels, but the referee waved away the penalty calls.

But the away side scored right before the full time whistle, after substitute Colby Bishop chased down a loose ball into Telford's box and slotted coolly home into the bottom right corner.

The defeat means Telford have lost their last two games by conceding in extra time.
