      1. FULL TIME!

        A FANTASTIC RESULT AT THE NEWPORT STADIUM!

      2. 96'

        Another corner for Cheltenham here.

        It’s glanced just over the bar!

      3. 94'

        It’s nodded on by a woman in green but past the post. And Gwalia might have done enough.

      4. 94'

        Corner to Cheltenham!

      5. 92'

        Cheltenham have a shot that O’Sullivan-Jones catches. She theatrically dives on the ball to kill some seconds.

      6. Kylie Nolan’s shot is deflected and it comes out to Pearce on the edge of the area. She places it into the top left corner with style. A brilliant brace from Gwalia’s number 18.

      7. SHE’S DONE IT AGAIN!

        IN THE 89TH MINUTE!

        Manon Pearce might have captured Gwalia a vital three points at the death.

      8. Goal!

        89'

        Manon Pearce

      9. 85'

        Asker is replaced by Jessie Taylor. She’s had a great night on the field.

      10. Asker brings down a Cheltenham player outside the box, or so it seems.

        To the surprise of many the ref points to the spot.

        Una Lue places it home. It’s all level.

      11. Goal!

        81'

        Una Lue

      12. 75'

        15 minutes to go, there’s a Cheltenham player down. The game has been very rigid in this second half.

        Pearce’s goal is still the one that separates the two sides, a pivotal goal in both team’s season.

      13. 67'

        HUGE CHANCE!

        The ball breaks through to Una Lue who found herself free on goal. With all the time to pick her spot in a one on one, she tamely places the ball to O’Sullivan-Jones’ right. The Welsh international stays cool and gets down to make the stop.

        It should be level.

      14. 65'

        Penalty shout from Tia Asker who was wiped out in the area but the ref deemed it a fair tackle.

      15. 60'

        A corner troubles Cheltenham as Ellie Mai Sanford meets it at the back post. But she can’t steer the ball goalwards.

      16. 55'

        Another free kick is swung into Gwalia’s area but again they defend resiliently.

      17. 53'

        Cheltenham get a half-chance where a shot goes just wide.

      18. 51'

        It has been a very edgy start to this second half. No one giving anything away.

      19. 46'

        We are back underway for the second half.

      20. HALF TIME!

        Gwalia take a slender lead into the break. A match which is crucial to both teams this season.

      21. Yellow Card

        45'

        Libbie Piggott

      22. 45'

        CHANCE!

        Good hold up play from Nolan as she creates a 3 v 2 break. She gets the ball back in the box with a chance to shoot but carries it wide. Her attempt at a cross is blocked and the attack thistles out.

      23. 45'

        Emily Owen plays a deep free kick into the area and it’s dealt with easily by Gwalia.

        Owen, visibly frustrated on the half way line.

      24. 38'

        Elena Cole delivers a dangerous corner which is allowed to bounce in the area.

        But no one in red can get on the end of it.

      25. 35'

        Asker is having a fantastic game. She has a go from range and forces a great save from the Cheltenham keeper.

      26. 30'

        CHANCE!

        Pearce and Asker combine again as the midfielder finds the winger with a wonderful ball. Asker does incredibly to work a cross which is met by O’Keefe who’s header travels just wide.

      27. 27'

        A free kick comes in from the visitors.

        They see three blocked shots in the area before the ball is scrambled away.

      28. 23'

        Chloe Lloyd is down after being hit in the face by the ball. She will be off the pitch while Cheltenham take a corner.

        The corner poses no threat fortunately at the skipper can come back on.

      29. 19'

        The free kick is a good one.

        Over the wall and on target.

        But O’Sullivan-Jones catches it.

      30. 18'

        Cheltenham are beginning to grow into the game with a few little attacks. But they have been unable to create a chance in front of goal.

        They do have a free kick in shooting range now though.

      31. 13'

        The corner was played in short but Cheltenham managed to deal with it.

      32. 12'

        Piggott slides in Asker again who looks to put in another cross but its blocked and Gwalia get a corner.

      33. Tia Asker has been dangerous on the left wing so far. She receives the ball on the far side and Manon Pearce races into the area pointing to where she wants it.

        Asker delivers to perfection and Pearce knocks it home at the near post for her first goal in a Gwalia shirt.

        The hosts take a deserved lead.

      34. Goal!

        8'

        Manon Pearce

      35. 3'

        A better start to the game from Gwalia, who have seen most of the possession thus far.

      36. 1'

        We are underway here at the Newport Stadium
