A quiet start to the match before in the fourth minute a promising attack down the left by Mitch Beardmore where his cross was easily dealt with when he may have been better shooting.

On ten minutes Worthing won the first corner of the game when an attack down the left by Glen Rea was intercepted but the corner was well defended.

The first shot of the match came in the 14^th minute when Ryan Brett played in Matt Wright who headed on to Joe Wragg only for his shot to slide by the left-hand post from 15 yards and was never troubling Worthing keeper Chris Haigh.

Matt Wright picked up an unfortunate injury on 18 minutes and was replaced by James Watts-Barciela. With fans favourite Jack Crago being released earlier in the week to Helston Athletic, there were not too many attacking options.

On 20 minutes a promising surge down the left saw Wragg play in Dylan Jones who was bearing down on goal but flagged for offside. Shortly after, Woking had their first shot on 22 minutes by their lofty number 9 Mo Faal but his effort from 25 yards was easily gathered by Lee,

On 26 minutes, Worthing came close to opening the scoring when Callum Hall was dispossessed in midfield and Nicky Wheeler worked an opportunity for himself and a strong shot was glanced away by the head of Taylor Scarff for a corner which was comfortably defended.

Although Worthing were now getting on top after an even first 20 minutes, Callum Hall broke away on 30 minutes and his 20 yard effort took a deflection which saw Haigh gather the ball at his second attempt. Within a minute however, Worthing took the lead. Playmaker Danny Cashman slotted in Mo Faal and from the left side of the penalty area, he cooly finished with his left foot low down inside the far post leaving Lee no chance.

On 35 minutes following a corner, Glen Rea powered in a goal-bound shot inside the box which hit Scarff fully in the face with the follow up also being blocked. Worthing were now well in control and there was little threat from Parkway. The neat and tidy passages of play of the visitors were matched by Parkway for 20 minutes but the goal had knocked Parkway out of their stride and their passing became wayward. Dylan Jones being our main hope of a goal was too often helping the defence.

Good interchange between Nicky Wheeler and Danny Cashman on 41 minutes after Hall was relieved of the ball on halfway led to a good opportunity cut out for a corner by Carlo Garside with the corner resulting in a header by Spong just wide of the target. The three added minutes seen the first caution awarded to visiting Glen Rea for a foul on Callum Hall.
