Boyce sees Burton past Oldham
Posted Sunday, December 01, 2019 by PA
There was no FA Cup shock at Boundary Park as League One Burton eased themselves to a 1-0 win at Oldham in the second round.
Liam Boyce grabbed the all-important winner in the first half as the League Two hosts went down fighting.
The Brewers almost struck early on when Kieran Wallace’s piledriver was only saved at the second attempt by Zeus De La Paz.
The visitors went in front midway through the first period when Colin Daniel crossed in low for Boyce and he tucked home from four yards.
David Templeton fired inches over for Burton before the visitors were saved by the woodwork in first-half stoppage time. Jonny Smith twisted and turned before seeing his low drive pushed onto the post by keeper Kieran ‘O’Hara.
Smith forced O’Hara into another decent stop soon after the restart.
Oldham were pressing hard for a leveller, and Alex Iacovitti fluffed a great chance when he volleyed straight at O’Hara from 10 yards.
O’Hara was then controversially yellow-carded late on as he handled outside his area after rushing out to meet Tom Hamer’s ball forward.
