Bromsgrove Sporting secured their sixth consecutive win with a 2-1 victory over Leek Town in a closely contested match. The game, held on September 20, 2026, saw Sporting take a two-goal lead through Lamin Barrow and Jamille Matt before Leek Town's Connor Heath scored a late consolation goal.

The breakthrough came shortly after a penalty miss by Matt in the first half. Barrow was fouled in the area in the 25th minute, earning Sporting a spot-kick. Matt stepped up to take the penalty, but Leek goalkeeper Kornel Misciur correctly anticipated and saved the effort. Sporting managed to open the scoring four minutes later when Barrow’s right-footed shot, aided by a deflection off a defender and a hand from Misciur, found its way into the net.

Leek threatened towards the end of the first half, with former Leek player Ollie Harrison making several crucial blocks to keep Sporting’s advantage intact. The second half saw a strong response from Leek as Joe Doyle-Charles tested Misciur with a shot on goal 12 minutes after the break, only for the goalkeeper to parry it away.

Bromsgrove Sporting extended their lead in the 79th minute through Matt, who redeemed himself after his earlier penalty miss. Barrow’s initial shot was deflected into Matt’s path, allowing the former Walsall player to tap in the second goal. Sporting continued to press in the closing stages, with Adam Jasper having a shot saved by the Leek goalkeeper.

In injury time, Heath pulled a goal back for LeekTown with a well-placed long-range strike that found the top corner, injecting tension into the final moments. However, Bromsgrove Sporting held on to maintain their winning streak, moving them further up the league standings.
