Boreham Wood had scored five goals against Carlisle in the two league games this season and they started much the better, controlling possession and it brought its reward just before the half-hour mark.<\/p>\n
The ball was worked from a short corner to Abdulmalik and, with the defence slow to push out, the dangerous winger took aim and his low deflected shot got past goalkeeper Breeze, who was slow to get down to it.<\/p>\n
Abdulmalik’s pace and trickery almost created a second as Breeze could only parry his low cross-shot, with the defence gratefully able to hack clear.<\/p>\n
Carlisle had struggled to gain a foothold until captain Feeney took matters into his own hands. He carried the ball out of defence, played a one-two into the box and fired through goalkeeper Curd’s legs from a narrow angle.<\/p>\n
That allowed them to steady things after the break as the game was a lot more even. Regan Linney brought a good low save out of Curd with the best effort, while Feeney made two huge interventions in his own area to stop dangerous attacks.<\/p>\n
Substitute Georgie Kelly thought he had won it late on for Carlisle but he was penalised for handball and the game went into an extra 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
Fellow Blues substitute Chris Conn-Clarke brought a spectacular save out of Curd with a dipping volley before the game turned on the actions of Luamba.<\/p>\n
He launched into a crude, late lunge on Brunt right on the touchline and could have few complaints about being sent off.<\/p>\n
From there, the visitors took complete control and passed up a number of chances to score before the end of the first period.<\/p>\n
Yet Brunt needed less than 60 seconds of the second to claim his 19th goal of an impressive campaign with a beautiful finish after a lovely reverse pass from Lewis Richardson as the midfielder came up with another massive moment for his club to set up their crack at promotion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boreham Wood had scored five goals against Carlisle in the two league games this season and they started…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":430404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-430403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
