Barnet claimed a 2-1 victory over Bromley on Friday afternoon, a result that owed as much to their second-half organisation as it did to the composure they showed when the game threatened to slip away from them.
Bromley made the brighter start. N. Kabamba gave them the lead inside twelve minutes, and Phillip Chinedu doubled the advantage six minutes later, leaving Barnet with a deficit that demanded a significant response.
That response arrived early in the second half. William Hondermarck pulled one back on 49 minutes, giving Barnet a foothold they refused to relinquish. From that point, the hosts grew in confidence and began to press higher, forcing Bromley into errors they had not made in the opening exchanges.
Danny Collinge's withdrawal at 69 minutes signalled a tactical shift from Bromley, and Kyle Cameron followed him shortly after. Kabongo Tshimanga and G. Smith were also replaced around the same period, suggesting the visitors were managing legs rather than chasing the game.
The equaliser came through Oyindamola Ajayi on 87 minutes, and the momentum was firmly with Barnet. M. Dinanga and Joe Kizzi had entered the fray earlier to add directness, and their influence told in the closing stages.
Idris Kanu completed the turnaround on 89 minutes. The final whistle brought a flurry of additional changes and bookings, but the result was settled. Barnet had done enough.
