Three minutes later the home side were awarded a penalty when Hanley's Fin Pattison was sent clear and was brought down by Bootle keeper J.Mason, Mason made up for the error by saving Town forward Porter's penalty.

On the half hour mark Hanley Town keeper Caleb Clothier getting down low to his right to save a header from Bootle striker D.Daniels. Lewis Porter made up for his earlier penalty miss by getting on the end of a Max Van Der Laan cross to volley into the roof of the net.
