Oldham Athletic won 2-0 at Bromley on Tuesday evening, a result that reflected their control across much of the contest.
The visitors moved in front inside the first quarter-hour when Will Sutton converted after 19 minutes. Three minutes later, Ashley Charles doubled the advantage, and Bromley were left chasing a game they had barely started.
Jesse Debrah entered the action in the 36th minute as Bromley sought a response, though the home side struggled to create anything of substance before the break. B. Thompson came on in the 41st minute, and C. Jenkinson was introduced at the start of the second half, as the hosts tried to alter the shape of what had already become an uncomfortable evening.
Oldham made changes of their own around the hour mark. Kane Taylor, Ben Krauhaus, B. Ilunga, and Jamie Robson all came on within two minutes of each other, a cluster of substitutions that briefly interrupted the game's rhythm but did little to alter its direction. I. Odutayo and Oliver Hammond followed in the 74th and 77th minutes respectively.
Bromley never seriously threatened a way back into the match. Oldham defended what they had with relative comfort and showed little interest in conceding ground after establishing their lead so early.
The two-goal margin was fair. Oldham came, scored quickly, and managed the game from there without difficulty.
