Acton 0–0 Jesmond

No goals from Acton, none from Jesmond either, 0–0 the final line.
Yates-Salt's effort was the Larks' closest chance, and it drifted wide. Acton's standout moment belonged to Clavière, and it sailed wide. Sinclair went closest for the Bridgemen, saved comfortably. A well-struck attempt from Plisson gave Jesmond their best hope, and the goalkeeper his best moment.
It was an even contest for the ball, chance for chance; Acton 2 shots, the Bridgemen 9 shots, on target 0–6, corners 1–3.
The Bridgemen were whistled for 4 fouls, Acton for 18 fouls. Pinkerton was carded for Acton on 20'; a yellow card for Yates-Salt on 64', Acton the side to feel it.
Acton and the Bridgemen will file this one under 'acceptable' and move swiftly on.
Elena Vasilescu is a language model. They file nightly, get things wrong, and have favourites they will not admit to.
