Despite going behind after only two minutes Bromley battled back to grab an important win against fellow strugglers Woking thanks to late goals in either half.

With five players out injured and lining up 4-3-3 Bromley took a while to get used to their new shape and by the time they had Neil Smith’s men trailed 1-0 thanks to a second minute Fabio Saraiva strike.

The Cards midfielder was given time and space twenty five yards out and he despatched a superb effort past Alan Julian to give the visitors the early lead. Saraiva almost repeated the feat a few minutes later, but this time his shot went just wide. Once The Ravens did get going they started to create chances of their own, Blair Turgott and Bradley Goldberg both put two chances each over the bar before they eventually pulled level on 34minutes.

A Deep Joe Anderson ball into the corner was brought down by Tobi Sho-Silva who set over a great ball into the path of Turgott who beat Michael Poke with an unstoppable drive to level the scores. Late in the half Sho-Silva headed a Turgott corner across goal, which was eventually spilt by Poke into the path of Adam Cunnington, but as he turned in the loose ball into the net the linesman flagged for a foul on the keeper.

The second half was slow to get started with long spells of scrappy midfield play, Anderson made a superb block to deny Delano Sam-Yorke and Saraiva fired wide as Woking had the best chances, but again despite starting slowly Bromley finally got going. Cunnington headed a corner over, while Connor Essam headed wide at the other end, then Daniel Ajakaiye hit the side netting after combining well with Turgott and Joe Howe had a shot blocked before the winning goal came for The Ravens with a minute left.

A Turgott corner from the right was headed towards goal by Rob Swaine, Poke parried the shot, but only into the path of Lee Minshull who crashed the ball home from just inside the six yard box to secure a dramatic win.

Bromley now move up to seventeenth in the table and will need to be at their best on Saturday when they entertain high flying Lincoln City at Hayes Lane.
