Hereford are 1-0 down to Gateshead at the halfway mark.
The Bulls failed to deal with a cross coming in and Elliot Forbes was on hand to head home.
Prior to that, there had been few chances created by either side. New loan goalkeeper Will Henry saved from Gateshead's Nicky Deverdics, while at the other end, Keiran Thomas saw an effort whistle just wide.
Just before half time, Kelsey Mooney had a shot deflected behind for a corner for Hereford.
