4 mins A free-kick awarded to the Daggers on the right taken by Saunders. Tim Cole headers the ball just wide from 6 yards out. A good start from the home side.

11 mins A chance for the visitors when Mark Gower's through ball into the path of Jamal Campbell-Rice beats the offside trap. The Jamaican International rounds David Hogan, but his effort is inches wide of the upright.

15 mins Akurang and Benson work well again with the later following up from Akurang's pass with a volley wide of the goal.
