Chesham fought back after conceding an early goal but were unable to repeat the feat when the visitors promptly scored a second. Chesham made four changes to the starting eleven, with Matt Lench returning after injury in place of the injured Lewis Rolfe, and Josh Addae, Gio Rasulo and Matt McClure coming in for Connor Roberts, Samson Esan and Nathan Minhas.

Chesham fell behind in the fourth minute when Connor Stevens brought down Gold Omotayo on the edge of the area and Morgan Williams lifted the resulting free kick into the top corner of the net.  However the lead was to last just six minutes, as Callum Adebiyi’s surging run was halted by a trip by Michael Gyasi on the edge of the area and Alex Babos found the top corner with the resulting free kick.  Eight minutes later the visitors retook the lead when Morgan Williams set up Cameron Forde-Brown who shot low past Ben Goode’s left hand from just inside the area.  Chesham came back and Mitchell Weiss caught keeper Louis Chadwick off his line and went for goal from just inside the visitors’ half but his effort was just off target.  On the half-hour King’s Lynn won another free kick in a dangerous position but Ben Goode was able to save from Ross Crane.  Shortly afterwards Dan Bayliss headed wide from an Alex Babos corner, then in stoppage time the visitors’ defence got in a tangle and let in Alfie Williams who shot wide from a good position.

On 52 minutes the visitors took command of the game when Ross Crane crossed low from the left and Gold Omotayo tapped in at the near post.  Dan Bayliss again headed towards goal from an Alex Babos corner but Chadwick dived to his left to save, then King’s Lynn broke away and Omotayo set up Michael Gyasi but Ben Goode came out to make a smart save to turn the ball away.  Midway through the half the referee took the players off after a lightning flash nearby, and after a ten-minute delay play restarted with Chesham pressing hard.  Following a spell of pressure Alfie Williams forced a fine diving save from Chadwick with a low shot from the edge of the area.  On 84 minutes Morgan Williams broke away and crossed to Omotayo, Connor Stevens challenged and the ball fell for Omotayo to tap in although replays showed that Omotayo was offside when Williams crossed.  Both sides had chances late on, visiting sub Joseph Nyahwema had a shot cleared off the line by Josh Addae and Sam Collins broke clear and shot past Ben Goode but the ball came back off the post.  Deep into stoppage time Nathan Minhas, who had just come on as a substitute, seized on a misplaced pass on the edge of the visitors’ area but shot just wide.
