Redditch ran out 4-0 winners against Malvern Town Football Club in the FA Cup after a second half in which the hosts scored four times. The first 45 minutes finished goalless, then Redditch pulled away. Match data did not list a scorer for any of the four goals.

Match Summary

For 45 minutes the FA Cup meeting stayed locked at 0-0. Neither side found a way onto the scoresheet before the interval, so the tie was still open when the teams came back out at The Valley Stadium.

Redditch broke through three minutes into the second half. That 48th-minute goal, with no scorer listed in the match data, was the first real swing of the match. From a shared blank sheet, the home side had a lead to protect and Malvern Town Football Club had a deficit to chase.

The visitors could not stem the flow. Redditch made it two in the 64th minute, again without a named scorer, and added a third at 71 minutes. Those two strikes in a seven-minute spell turned a single-goal lead into a 3-0 cushion.

Redditch were not finished. An 89th-minute goal, scorer again not listed in the match data, made the official result 4-0. It completed a second-half scoring run that had begun just after the restart.

Key Moments

The first goal after half-time was the hinge. Until then the FA Cup tie had no score and no clear owner. Once Redditch led, the rest of the match followed on their terms.

The burst that took the hosts from one goal up to three mattered more than the late fourth. That short window removed any sense of a contest and left Malvern Town Football Club chasing a deficit they never cut.

Malvern Town Football Club's extra corners never produced a reply. Control of the set-piece count did not become a foothold in the scoreline.
