Bury
Bromsgrove Sporting
Bury made the perfect start, striking inside seven minutes through George Glendon to settle any early nerves and seize control of the tie. Despite Bromsgrove Sporting enjoying more of the ball - 57% possession and 13 shots to Bury's 9 - it was the League side who looked more clinical, doubling their lead through Mo Touray's 59th-minute strike against the run of play. Bromsgrove pushed hard throughout, racking up 74 dangerous attacks to Bury's 69, but wasteful finishing and some last-ditch defending kept them at bay until O. Harrison's stoppage-time consolation set up a grandstand finish that ultimately came too late. For Bury, the win extends their encouraging cup form and offers a timely confidence boost given their lower league position, while Bromsgrove will rue their inefficiency in front of goal despite dominating territory.
