Half-time
HT: Chesterfield 1 v 1 Bromley
Michael Cheek opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Laurence Maguire was penalised for a foul. George Carline fired a great equaliser moments later.
It would have been a travesty had the Spireites gone in behind at the break.
Calvin Miller has been the standout performer for Chesterfield.
GOOOAAAALLLLL!!! 1-1
CARLINE!!!
Instant equaliser from Chesterfield. Carline fires the ball into the top corner on the half-volley from the edge of the box on the angle. Two goals in three games for the full-back. Prolific. 1-1. Five minutes to the break.
Goal for Bromley: 0-1
Laurence Maguire is penalised for a foul in the box and Michael Cheek smashes the penalty in.
Totally against the run of the play.
Maguire dived in, difficult to say whether he won the ball from here but he gave the ref a decision to make.
Miller has got the beating of Mnoga down the left flank. He skins him again and delivers a cross which Carline guides towards goal with his head and Cousins tips it wide for a corner. Spireites playing really well here.
25 gone, 0-0.
A shot comes in from Khan from the left edge of the box, it was from a similar position to his goal against Wealdstone but a bit further out, he struck it well but it hit the sidenetting. One side of the grounfd thought it was in.
22 gone, 0-0.
Great play by Miller down the left, he skins his man and chips a lovely cross to the back post where Clarke and Carline are waiting. Clarke goes for it with his head when he should have left it for Carline who was in a better position to finish.
18 gone, 0-0.
