Chichester City secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Hanwell Town in their recent fixture, with Isaac Bello scoring both goals for the visitors. The match, played at Hanwell’s home ground, saw the hosts begin strongly but ultimately struggle to capitalize on early chances.
Hanwell started the game on the front foot, with Eddie Cooper narrowly missing a scoring opportunity in the opening minutes, his shot going just wide of Chichester goalkeeper Max Evans’ post. Despite this early pressure, it was Chichester who took the lead in the 39th minute when Bello found the bottom left corner from the edge of the box, beating the Hanwell goalkeeper. Before halftime, Lucas Pattenden nearly extended the lead with an acrobatic attempt from a corner, but his effort sailed over the crossbar. Bello doubled the advantage just before the interval, tapping home from close range to give Chichester a 2-0 lead at the break.
The game shifted further in Chichester’s favor shortly after the restart when Hanwell’s Harry Seabrook received a second yellow card in the 48th minute, reducing the home side to ten men. Hanwell manager Chris Moore responded with a four-player substitution just before the hour mark. Among the substitutes, Seif Shaker tested Evans with a low shot that was well saved, while Ollie Turner later fired a shot over the bar from outside the box.
Chichester’s Jake Lawrence made an impact after coming on and came close to scoring following a skillful, dribbling run in the 86th minute. Late in the match, Hanwell’s Oke-William had a chance to pull one back, but Evans was alert to deny the attempt, preserving the clean sheet for the visitors.
The win marked a strong showing for Chichester City, who capitalized on key moments and numerical advantage to secure all three points on the road. Hanwell Town, despite early promise and home support, was unable to mount a sustained challenge after being reduced to ten men in the second half.
