On 10 minutes a good through ball from Jake Chambers Shaw almost fell to Ollie Hughes on the edge of the Soham box but the ball was just to strong for Hughes. On 12 minutes Ryan Stafford went down the wing and came inside to hit a shot at goal but a good save from Josh Pope sent the ball out of play. Soham went down to ten men on 20 minutes with Lloyd Groves being sent off with a straight red card for a foul on Ollie Hughes in the box and Cemal Ramadan fired Bury in front from the spot. Hughes was involved in the action again on 24 minutes heading just wide from a corner. Ross Crane played a good ball in to Ryan Jolland on 43 minutes and Pope had to be at his best to punch the ball away. On 44 minutes Soham were level. A well hit strike from Sam Mulready brought the game level at the break.
