Just one minute into the contest, Dajaune Brown gave the visitors the lead. After a scramble in the box, the forward was able to finish into an open goal, with the Seasiders failing to deal with the danger on several occasions, with Jon Brady’s side battling harder for the ball.
Jordan Shipley attempted to double the lead a couple of times with shots from distance. One of the midfielder’s attempts was pulled wide of the target, while the other was pushed away by Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
The highlight of the Seasiders’ attacking exploits in the first half hour were two off target shots from Josh Bowler on the right side.
Jordan Brown came the closest to finding an equaliser before the break, with an effort from distance striking the post.
