It was a case of Deja-Vu today, winning by a single goal, scored in injury time, when we met in Chichester on 8th February, an injury time goal secured a 1-0 victory. Today another injury-time goal puts us in 5th place into a play-off position.
From the match facts, Bay made all the running and for the game to be decided on single goal, credit must go to Chichester’s defence. In the game, Bay registered 16 attempts on goal, 13 on target, to Chichester’s 3: only one on target, hitting the bar.
First Half Summary:
• Mike West's free-kick curls just wide of the far post. Chichester best chance as Josh Clack’s header hits the bar with Jordan Perrin beaten.
• West lobs the ball over the backline for Rory Smith to race into the box, but keeper Magee comes out to smother the ball
• Kieron Campbell mazy run into the box puts Zak Ansah. Magee blocks his shot.
• A free-kick into the box, Dan Johnson heads towards the far post where Laurence Harvey heads inches wide.
• Jack Parter races down the left flank, pulls the ball back to Ansah whose shot on target is deflected for a corner
• Campbell jinks his way to the edge of the area, shoots straight into Magee’s arms
• Ansah's low drive is spilt by Magee, Smith follows up, deflected for a corner.
Second Half summary:
• Eddie Allsopp's free-kick hit straight at Magee
• Allsopp puts Smith clear with only Magee to beat, but his attempt hits Magee and goes away to safety.
• West drills a low volley from 25 yards, Magee saves well
• A cross from Parter finds Smith on the edge of the area, but he hits a volley high over the bar
• Campbell shoots from range, Magee fails to hold, the follow-up shot is cleared off the line
• Hamilton Antonio hits a volley wide of the upright
• Johnson heads straight into Magee’s arms from a corner
• From a corner 3 minutes into injury time, a close-range shot was again spilt by Magee, but Aaron Millbank is on hand to smash the ball home to secure a well-deserved victory.
