        ...only to see his shot blocked by Matty Cash (HLR).
Min 11: The ball is hooked on towards Alejandro Balde (ITP)...
        ...who takes on Matty Cash on the edge of the area...

        ...who from the edge of the box drills a fine low shot that floats just wide.

        ...but the American is correctly ruled to have been off-side.

Min 42: Brilliant play by Alejandro Balde (ITP) on the right...
        ...he whizzes clear and crosses low for Daniel Jones...
        ...who plants a superb shoot but its right at Jed Steed.
Min 44: Carl Wertez breaks up the play in the middle of the park...
        ...and puts Ollie Watkins on the attack down the right...
