In a crucial National League match, Notts County faced Bromley at Hayes Lane, desperately needing a win to keep their promotion hopes alive. However, they got off to a shaky start when keeper Tiernan Brooks was penalised for a foul in the 19th minute, and Adam Marriott converted the resulting penalty to put Bromley ahead.
Notts County tried to get back on level terms, but their efforts were in vain until injury time. Ruben Rodrigues played a perfectly weighted pass to Macaulay Langstaff, who is the National League's top scorer, and he clinically finished past the goalkeeper to secure a point for Notts County.
This point briefly lifted Notts County back above leaders Wrexham to the top of the table, after having lost to Dagenham & Redbridge in the previous weekend.
However, Wrexham regained the top spot by the end of the evening, although with only a single point difference, after they themselves conceded a late equalizer to drop two points at Maidenhead.
Despite the draw, Notts County remained in contention for promotion, and Langstaff's 33rd goal of the season was a significant boost to their chances. In the remaining minutes of the game, Notts County pushed hard for a winner, but Langstaff was denied a penalty shout that could have given them all three points.
Overall, it was a tense and exciting match, with Notts County showing great character to secure a crucial point away from home. They will now have to regroup and prepare for their next match, where they will be hoping to pick up all three points and keep the pressure on Wrexham at the top of the table.
