GOAAALLLL!!! DALY MAKES IT 1-1
A great move by Pools as Matty Daly controls Luke Molyneux’s cross and smashes the ball into the top right corner of the goal unmarked. Great finish.
11: GOAL! Charters heads Carlisle in front
Taylor Charters rises highest from a corner to find the bottom left side of the goal with his head and give the hosts an early lead.
9: Almost an own goal from Odusina
Alessandra’s low cross is completely missed by Odusina as it hits his standing leg and goes out for a corner.
7: Cullen misses with a header
Cullen tries to glance Ferguson’s cross into the far post but misses the target. Free header from 10-yards.
6: Great chance for Pools!
Ogle’s cross is controlled by Daly inside the area but his close range strike is well saved by Jensen in the Carlisle goal.
