FIRST HALF
13) First shot of the game, but it was a poor effort from Keiron Thomas
17) Good challenge by Martin Riley sees Spennymoor awarded a corner
19) Good low save by Spennymoor goalkeeper Matthew Gould (the son of ex-Hereford United keeper Jonathan Gould) to deny Jordan Nicholson. Best chance of the game so far.
26) GOAL: Jordan Nicholson puts Hereford ahead. Good persistence by Nicholson sees him slot the ball past Matthew Gould in the Spennymoor goal. 1-0
31) Good defending by Hereford prevents prolific Spennymoor striker Glen Taylor from getting a shot in on goal
33) Good persistence by Hereford striker Rowan Liburd, but the Spennymoor back line do well to prevent him getting a cross in
38) Jordan Nicholson almost grabs his second goal of the game, but Matthew Gould just about manages to tip his shot behind for a corner
SECOND HALF
53) Good play by Raheem Hanley on the left sees him drift inside. But his effort fizzes wide.
57) Rowan Liburd volleys wide for the Bulls
57) First change of the game sees Bradley Ash replace Reece Styche
61) GOAL: Good move by Spennymoor sees Andrew Johnson sweep the ball home. 1-1
