FULL TIME: REDDITCH UNITED 0-0 WORCESTER CITY
90min: Symins receives the ball in the box and attempts to strike at goal but his effort is turned behind. Corner is well held by Catlow.
4 minutes added time.
88min: Good work down the right from Phillips as he puts a cross in for Baker-Richardson but the strikers effort is deflected into the hands of Boot.
84min: City’s passing hasn’t been the best tonight and they are struggling to make their man advantage count at the moment.
80min: RED: Caines is sent off for Redditch.
76min: SUB: Scarr comes on for Mutton in the hosts first change.
70min: Geddes goes for an ambitious strike from 30 yards but it goes harmlessly wide. Baker-Richardson goes into the book for Redditch for persistent fouls.
64min: Deeney goes close twice as he forces Catlow into a good save before firing wide. Dunkley on for Evans for City.
62min: Another decent chance for the hosts as Carline flashes a cross right across the face. Symons meanwhile lays Wright up at the other end who dips a half volley just wide.
60min: Shearer cuts in from the right and seems to be caught in two minds whether to shoot or cross, he then slashes a very poor strike well wide.
56min: SUB: Nti hobbles off and is replaced by Mike Symons.
54min: Caines goes in the book for a rash challenge on Nti.
48min: Geddes goes close for City as he takes aim from the edge of the box but Catlow is equal to it and tips it behind. Corner comes to nothing.
46min: First chance of the second half falls to Shearer as he cuts in from the right but his tame strike is easily held by Boot.
Back underway here.
– Not an enthraling first 45 but there were chances for both sides nonetheless. Redditch will feel they have slightly shaded the chances with Shearer wasting their best efforts while Wright saw his header cleared off the line for the visitors.
HALF TIME: REDDITCH UNITED 0-0 WORCESTER CITY
43min: Real chance for Redditch to take the lead before the break as Jones plays in Shearer but his shot is weak and straight at Boot.
42min: Decent spell of possession from City but no end product as of yet.
35min: Spink slices an effort well wide of the Worcester goal after decent build up play from Caines and Maye.
31min: Vital block from Rowe denies Baker-Richardson what would have been a certain goal after he was played in by Jones.
29min: Jackman does well down the right and plays it to Geddes whose strike takes a slight touch on its way through and Catlow claims well.
26min: Spink now fires a half volley wide for the hosts after hesitant defending from Lynch.
20min: Now City have their best chance as Evans beats Caines down the right and crosses for Wright who climbs highest but his looping header is cleared off the line by Mutton.
19min: Best chance of the game so far as Shearer plays in Baker-Richardson who curls an effort at goal but Boot does well to parry it away before Rowe clears the danger.
14min: Maye has the first effort on target in the game as he bends a free kick straight into the arms of Boot.
9min: A nasty challenge by Spink on Geddes somehow goes unpunished.
7min: After early City possession the hosts are coming back into the game and Shearer looks the danger man as he attempts to drive a low cross which is well defended by Rowe.
3min: Neither side really able to gain a foothold in the game so far on what is a pretty poor pitch.
1min: City get us underway in their traditional Blue and White kicking from left to right. Redditch in their usual red and black.
