  • Reece Styche made no mistake firing low into the net.
  • After pulling the goal back Hereford started to make inroads and Jordan Nicholson saw an effort blocked.
  • Loanee signing Peter Vincenti was next to test the City defence and beat the off-side trap before James Ward deflected his effort into the side-netting.
  • City would have doubled their lead but for two clearances from Jordan Cullinane-Liburd off the goal-line moments before the break.
  • Hall played himself into trouble after almost handling outside the box before releasing it for Niall Thompson.
  • He chipped the goalkeeper but Gowling was on hand to clear the danger.
  • The Bulls were level on the 52nd minute after Rowan Liburd pulled the ball down and found Jordan Nicholson who found the bottom corner.
