90 mins 2-1 Stevenage
Posh just not good enough to even control the ball in the box in these closing stages. Lots of wasted openings.
OFF THE LINE
Posh send a long ball into the box. Thompson picks it up at the right post. Chapman comes out, Thompson pokes it past him at his near post but on the line there is a great sliding challenge to deny Posh.
88 mins 2-1 Stevenage
Stevenage the stronger now. Reid has s goalbound looking hot blocked on the edge and they are peppering the box with crosses.
84 mins 2-1 Stevenage
Former Posh man Piergianni with the goal. Corner comes in headed back out wide to Taylor. No pressure on the cross, 3 Posh bodies run to him but it’s too late and Piergianni gets a free run on goal to head it in.
78 mins 1-1 CHANCE
That had to be 2-1.
A beautiful cross from Tomlinson. Right infront of the keeper, Jones on the slide but he misses the ball because he goes with his left rather than his right. Incredible.
