The game started with Notts County looking sharp, and it didn’t take long for Matthew Dennis to make his mark.

Dennis wasn’t done, though. Just after the half-hour mark, he struck again, this time heading in a precise delivery from Matt Palmer following a free-kick won by Jodi Jones. At 2-1, it looked like County had done enough to secure the win. They controlled much of the possession and created more chances, but Bromley’s resilience was on full display.
As the game entered its closing stages, Bromley’s persistence paid off. In the 83rd minute, Idris Odutayo delivered a stunning strike from distance, beating Roos and earning the visitors a well-deserved point. That late goal preserved Bromley’s unbeaten start to the season and highlighted how critical their finishing has been in recent matches.
Statistically, the game was quite balanced. Notts County had slightly more possession at 53%, but Bromley actually had more touches inside the opposition box, showing their attacking threat. Both teams registered three shots on target, and the match was fairly physical, with a combined 26 fouls committed and a few yellow cards along the way.
For Bromley, this draw keeps them unbeaten in their first five league games, a streak that has seen them rise to sixth place. Notts County, meanwhile, remain 16th, showing glimpses of attacking brilliance but struggling to hold on for three points. Players like Dennis have been crucial for County, while Bromley continue to rely on key figures such as Odutayo and Cheek, who has consistently been a scoring threat in League Two.
In short, this was a hard-fought, end-to-end match with plenty of excitement, late drama, and moments of brilliance from both sides. Bromley might have left Meadow Lane with just a point, but their late equalizer felt like a victory for the team and their fans. Notts County will be disappointed to have dropped points at home, but the fight and attacking intent were clear throughout.
