After a somewhat nervous spell at the start of the second half, a spectacular goal from Nnamdi Nwachuku was followed by another by George Purcell shortly afterwards to give Hornchurch the points. Hornchurch started confidently and a Junior Luke shot almost found the net in the first few minutes. Two well placed centres from Joey May also created danger before Junior Luke played the ball down the right flank to Kieran Bishop who moved inside, and although keeper Alex Archer got a hand to the shot, he could not prevent the ball from entering the net to give Hornchurch the lead. Bury rarely threatened, but the best they could manage was when Connor Hall tried a shot from thirty yards, which Sam Mott held. Hornchurch increased their lead on 19 minutes when Bishop played the ball out to Luke whose cross was volleyed home by George Purcell. Nnamdi Nwachuku made a good run in from the left wing but his centre was intercepted before it could reach Bishop in front of goal. Bury then came much more into the match as an attacking force, and both Craig Nurse and Seb Dunbar had chances, before, in the final seconds of stoppage time, a free kick was conceded on the left, the ball was played across the pitch but headed back again to the left side, where the follow up centre was slotted home by Craig Nurse. Bury appeared to be getting the upper hand during the second half, until Nnamdi Nwachuku scored a spectacular goal on 63 minutes, when he won the race to a poorly directed clearance by home keeper Archer and crashed the ball hard into the net from 35 yards. And three minutes later a long throw by Junior Luke caused consternation in the home defence, the ball fell to Tobi Joseph, whose shot was blocked on the line, and George Purcell was first to react, when he prodded the ball over the line and into the net. Jordan Patrick almost pulled a goal back when he moved in from the left and his shot came back off the post, and Mott then saved well from Hall. Hornchurch quickly regained control, and a Chris Bourne run resulted in a good cross which was deflected away for a corner. Courtney Homans went close with a shot which Archer tipped around the post for a corner, whilst Martin Tuohy fired narrowly over following good work on the left by Bourne. Thomas s Gogo replaced Purcell and immediately made an impact, winning a corner, which May played to Tuohy, whose centre was headed over by Bishop. Hornchurch had little difficulty in playing out the final few minutes of stoppage time to earn a well-deserved three points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
