Boreham Wood drew 1-1 with Forest Green Rovers on Saturday afternoon, a result that will satisfy neither side given the manner in which the game unfolded across a frantic second half.
The opening period passed without incident of note, and it was not until after the interval that the match came to life. Lewis Richardson set the tone early in the second half, and Forest Green looked the more purposeful side as the hour mark approached. Kyle McAllister and Leon Ayinde were introduced around the mid-point of the half, and Forest Green's momentum shifted noticeably with those changes.
Boreham Wood went ahead through an unconfirmed goal on 56 minutes, though Forest Green responded with real urgency. Neil Kengni levelled at 77 minutes, the same moment Harvey Bunker entered proceedings for the visitors. Joshua Oluwole Olaoluwa had already come on at 68 minutes, and he made his presence felt when he scored at 84 minutes to put Forest Green ahead.
Elijah Morrison then struck at 85 minutes, restoring parity in what had become a breathless closing spell. A further unconfirmed goal deep into stoppage time, alongside Zak Brunt's late involvement, suggested Forest Green pushed hard for a winner without finding one.
Boreham Wood showed resilience after surrendering the lead but were fortunate not to lose it. Forest Green controlled large portions of the second half and will feel the draw represented a missed opportunity.
