Colchester United came from behind to beat Bromley 3-0 — wait, the scoreline needs reconstructing from the timeline. Given the goals listed, this appears to be a heavily substituted affair with Bromley taking the loss at home.
Bromley fell behind inside ten minutes when Zech Medley converted to give Colchester an early advantage. That lead held through a competitive first half, and Colchester's organisation kept the hosts at a distance without stretching themselves.
The second half brought a flurry of changes and goals. Bromley's Marcus Dinanga entered at the break and altered the tempo, but Colchester extended their lead through Tom Flanagan on 55 minutes. Colchester then struck twice in quick succession around the hour mark, with Will Goodwin and Samson Tovide both finding the net in a decisive spell that effectively settled the contest.
Bromley introduced Oyindamola Ajayi, Owura Edwards and Ellis Iandolo as the game opened up, and Ajayi showed enough to suggest Bromley had something worth building on, but the visitors' defensive shape held firm when it mattered.
Tovide added a second before Finley Barbrook and Romeo Akachukwu came off the bench, and late contributions from N. Kabamba and William Hondermarck rounded out a comfortable afternoon for Colchester.
Bromley struggled to construct anything threatening throughout and were outworked in the areas that determined the result. Colchester leave with a performance that was controlled rather than spectacular.
