Farnborough score. Boro make it 3-1 from the spot - Patton guesses the right way, but can’t quite get there to tip it around the post. Patton and Edward’s appear to be sin binned - it’s 9 vs 11. ⏰ 68 | 🔴⚪️ 3 - 1 🟡⚫️ #CarshaltonAthletic | #cafc | #TheRobins

Boro search for an immediate reply but are denied by the brilliance of Patton! ⏰ 63 | 🔴⚪️ 3 - 0 🟡⚫️ #CarshaltonAthletic | #cafc | #TheRobins

It's been a much more competitive second half, but Taylor is played through and sent clear away on goal. One-on-one, she takes a stab at it - the keeper parries, but it’s not enough, and it trickles into the net! #CarshaltonAthletic | #cafc | #TheRobins

The Boro attack is putting the Carshalton defense under serious pressure this half. The Robins just about survive a threatening cutback and a misjudged pass from Patton, who’s stepped in for McNulty between the posts. ⏰ 55 | 🔴⚪️ 2 - 0 🟡⚫️ #CarshaltonAthletic | #cafc |…

Eade piles on the pressure through a succession of dangerous corners, one of which is retuned back to her to force a good diving stop out of the keeper. ⏰ 50 | 🔴⚪️ 2 - 0 🟡⚫️ #CarshaltonAthletic | #cafc | #TheRobins

The Robins go into the break with a two-goal cushion 👊 A very strong half from the ladies, and they could have further extended their advantage 💪 #CarshaltonAthletic | #cafc | #TheRobins

Heather Eade drifts to the right of the penalty area and fires straight down the throat of the goalkeeper, it’s spilt, and Chapman can’t connect for the follow-up! ⏰ 40 | 🔴⚪️ 2 - 0 🟡⚫️ #CarshaltonAthletic | #cafc | #TheRobins

Trialist threads through Scarlett who does well to latch onto the ball and deliver it across the face of goal, but nobody in red is there to convert into the empty net 😩 ⏰ 38 | 🔴⚪️ 2 - 0 🟡⚫️ #CarshaltonAthletic | #cafc | #TheRobins
