7 minutes in and Eastwood starts the scoring. Benjamin clears down the left sideline to Lee. Lee takes it to the corner before sending it back to Benjamin about 25 yards back. Benjamin finds Morris in front of the net and gets the ball there. Morris scores his first goal in over 800 minutes! 1-0.
The joy would be shortlived, though. Morris would pick up an injury just 8 minutes later and Hall would receive a yellow as well during the ruckus. Edwards comes in for Morris. The story I get is the Blyth Spartan collided with Morris and then Hall tripped the Spartan. Seems fair to me.
Keane misses an opportunity to head the ball in on a corner...sending it wide at the 22 minute mark.
A minute later, Blyth scores. Given a free kick after a Benjamin foul, a Spartan breaks free of the pack and runs the goal in. Gilpin must not have seen him coming, as he lunged late in his direction but too late. 1-1.
We hit the extra time and Elliott finds Gardner down the right. Gardner shakes an opponent and sees Lee 25 yards away from the net at the center of the field. Gardner sends the ball to Lee and Lee one times it, a powerful shot that finds it way past the keeper! 2-1.
