  • The Bulls showed encouraging signs in the opening 23 minutes and Victor Sodiende was played in before jinking the defence and seeing his effort blaze off Kelsey Mooney.
  • At the other end Richard Peniket came within an inch of heading his side ahead after meeting Ryan Johnson's cross.
  • Harriers were the more dominant of the sides and on the 39th minute a Alex Prosser corner into a crowded box was headed goalward by Cliff Moyo only to be cleared off the line by Stephen Dawson.
  • However, it was the Bulls who took a 51st minute lead thanks to a Victor Sodeinde penalty.
  • Jason Pope's free-kick came back for Jordan Cullinane-Liburd who was taken down as he shot and Sodeinde made no mistake from the penalty spot.
  • Kidderminster responded with Hemmings denied by a Kieran Thomas challenge before Richard Peniket headed over under pressure.
  • Sodiende had a chance to double the hosts' lead but he fired his volley over from a Jared Hodgkiss cross.
  • Ed Williams almost leveled the tie on the 72nd minute with a stabbed effort wide from inside the box.
  • As the Bulls looked to secure the victory Sodiende had two efforts go close.
  • And then in the 80th minute Stephen Dawson jinked his way into the box before crossing for Cliff Moyo to put the ball into his own net.
  • In the first of six added minute of injury time Harriers pulled a goal back as Ashley Hemmings bundled a free-kick home.
