On 20 minutes Ayo Olukoga tried to out fox Bury keeper Luis Tibbles with a curling effort to the top corner, but Tibbles had it covered and made the save. Olukoga had the ball in the Bury net on 24 minutes only to be ruled offside. On 29 minutes Olukoga had another great chance for Romford, shooting from close range but Tibbles pulled off a brilliant save with his legs. Jake Chambers Shaw showed some good skills on 31 minutes working the ball through the defence and finding space to shoot but his shot was deflected out of play. A good effort on goal from Oguz Yasar on 40 minutes for Romford saw his powerful strike go just wide of the angle.
