The Yeltz should have been in front in the first half, Daniel Bragoli having three good chances, the first on 15 minutes which he put wide and the second on 31 when he blazed over after being set up by Lee Hughes.

Bragoli also hit the side netting ten minutes before half time.

Coalville came into the game a bit more at the start of the second half, forcing a number of corners which were cleared.

But a substitution for Halesowen almost paid off in the 73rd minute when Danny Byrnes brought off a save from Elliott Taylor in the Coalville goal.

Marcus Poscha managed to get through for Halesowen on 82 minutes but had the ball taken off him when he was about to shoot.

Three minutes from the end Tom McGlinchey found Nat Watson who dragged his shot wide but it was Watson who scored the penalty and the winner when McGlinchey was adjudged to have been tripped by Asa Charlton in the area.
