FC Halifax Town v Southend United LIVE

Halifax 0-2 Southend

Southend got better as the game went on, Town got worse in a dreadful second-half.

Wind on for Bridge

Corner cleared

Shot by Cooke deflects for a corner

Cross by Cappello from the left straight to the keeper

5 added mins. 5 minutes too long for me

And that sums it up fairly well. They try to cross from the right, the ball comes off the Southend player and back onto the Town man and behind for a goal kick

Town have trailed 2-0 for half an hour but not once have they looked like getting back into the game

Shot by Appiah-Forson blocked for a corner

I’d say Southend look more likely to score a third than Town do to get one back

Emmerson on for Smith

Appiah-Forson on for Coker

George flicks Oluwabori’s deflected cross on target but its easily saved

Have to say the Southend fans have been brilliant today. A very good turnout and they’ve not stopped singing

Southend keeper booked for time wasting

Southend free kick given when Town are the ones baying for a penalty for a shirt pull

Another Town corner

Town shot blocked for a corner
