Bury went two goals up on 33 minutes when a half clearance fell nicely for Ryan Horne to smash home from distance through a crowd of players into the top corner of the net. On 37 minutes Ryan Stafford put in a great cross to the far post looking for Ollie Hughes but Pope was out quick to punch the ball away. Soham had a free kick in a dangerous position on 43 minutes but Lee Chaffey looped his header over the bar.
