Jamille Matt then turned the tie firmly in the hosts' favour just after the hour mark, doubling the advantage in the 79th minute and looking to have settled the contest. Leek Town, to their credit, refused to fold and Connor Heath's stoppage-time finish set up a nervous final moment, but it was too little too late. For Bromsgrove, this is a confidence-boosting cup win that keeps their season building momentum, while Leek Town will rue a slow start that ultimately cost them the tie despite a spirited late response.
