- In response former Bull Kelsey Mooney broke and forced Brandon Hall into a save from a tight angle.
- Miles Storey was next to test Weaver pulling away from his marker before seeing his low effort saved.

- Shortly after the break Mooney almost had his goal against his former side turning Ben Pollock before seeing his effort saved by Hall.
- Leamington were finding gaps in the Bulls' defence and Dan Meredith saw his cross rattle against the crossbar.
- Loanne Dan Smith came closest for the Bulls approaching the hour seeing his goalbound effort inside the box deflected wide.
- Hall was quickly becoming the Bulls hero and had to be on hand to deny Joe Parker's effort.
- At the other end substitute Ollie Hulbert almost put the Bulls level but saw his effort cleared off the goal-line.
- As Hereford searched for a way back into the tie they got caught on the break with Mooney releasing substitute Kaiman Anderson who saw his effort deflected over by Patrick Fini
