The equaliser soon followed, Jake Day found Ahmed Salam, who beat his marker before drilling a low cross for Coulson to finish from close range.

Despite further pressure, Bridlington were unable to turn dominance into three points, the match finishing 1–1.
After the game,Thompson admitted: “We’re really frustrated not to win the game, if I’m being brutally honest.”
