Carlisle 0-1 Stockport
Quiet start to the second half.
Carlisle don't need to unduly push on and leave themselves exposed defensively.
Time is their friend. For now.

Carlisle 0-1 Stockport
Isaac Olaofe has been all-action for Stockport at the top end of the pitch.
He's straight into the action at the start of the second half as he holds the ball up well before teeing up Antoni Sarcevic to swing a cross in.
Paddy Madden meets it but can only loop it harmlessly wide.

Carlisle get us back under way.
Can Stockport hold out to seal a return back to League One?

Carlisle 0-1 Stockport
Liam Hogan
former Stockport defender on BBC Radio ManchesterThe goal was a reward for positive play and releasing Isaac Olaofe.
He’s got pace and power and no defender wants him one-on one.
He’s half trying to put it into an area and half shoot and it’s ended up looping over the goalkeeper.
There’s a lot of head tennis and it’s looked a bit messy at times.

Stephen O'Halloran
Ex-Salford and Stockport defender on BBC Radio ManchesterIt’s been difficult watching it. It’s a really tight game and County have taken their chance.
Isaac Olaofe is putting himself in the right areas. He’s been brilliant over the last few months.
Going into half-time, Dave Challinor will be really happy but there’s still 45 minutes to go.
They need to make sure there’s no silly mistakes.

Chris Lumsdon
Former Carlisle midfielder on BBC Radio CumbriaStockport have a really strong midfield and they are a tough team to play against.
But an encouraging end to the first half from Carlisle who have shown plenty of times this season that they can step it up a gear and come from behind.
There is still 45 minutes left, it's going to be an exciting second half.

BBC Radio Cumbria SportAt the end of the half Carlisle were playing well and pressing Stockport.
The players can't be too unhappy but they have to be even better in the second half.

Carlisle 0-1 Stockport
Image source, Rex FeaturesAdvantage Stockport at the break.
The Hatters are 45 minutes from returning to League One.
There was more than just a little bit of luck about their goal, with Issac Olaofe's cross taking a massive deflection off Jon Mellish to loop beyond Tomas Holy in the Carlisle goal.
Prior to that it was the Blues who had had the best opening but Ben Hinchliffe made a super save from Joe Garner's header.
Paul Simpson's men threatened a leveller as the half closed.

Akil Wright reads the danger well and times the tackle perfectly.

We're into four minutes of time added on.
Carlisle are pushing now.
John-Kymani Gordon snatches a loose ball 45 yards out and progresses well but smashes his shot high and wide.

Massive moment!
Joel Senior bursts away after some poor defending from Stockport on the halfway line.
He looks to square for John-Kymani Gordon to tap in but Akil Wright gets in the way.

Carlisle 0-1 Stockport
The corner is deep and Carlisle look to launch a counter but the Hatters are just that yard quicker at the moment.
Antoni Sarcevic is down for County but looks like he'll be fine to play on.

Liam Hogan
former Stockport defender on BBC Radio ManchesterIt was probably going to be one of those types of goals that was going to break the deadlock.
They gave him too much room but there’s a deflection to loop it up and over the goalkeeper.

What wretched luck for Carlisle, heartbreaking, and they must respond now.
GOAL: Carlisle 0-1 Stockportpublished at 34 mins
Jon Mellish (own goal)
Stockport hit the front!
You've got to feel for Jon Mellish though.
Isaac Olaofe stands him up and looks to hit a cross towards the back post.
Mellish dives in to try and get a block on it and it loops up off his shin and drops into the far corner.

Very hot out there today so we're having a drinks break.
Carlisle defender Jon Mellish walks over the sidelines still shaking his head about that booking.
