Ilkeston are having more possession but Uni forwards are fast. Equaliser Kel Akpobire well taken goal following swift attack. 1-1 24 minutes

Akpobire nearly intercepts Ilkeston back pass. Mitchell does really well to block. Nice turn and shot by Walker but it's well wide. Loughborough are playing some good stuff and look dangerous when attacking.. Akpobire crashes into Mitchell and handbags follow.. Akpobire is sent off. I find that a bit harsh. 1-1 34 minutes

Free kick to Uni 30 yards out. It's wasted - over the bar. Keeper gets down to smother Fyfe's cross. Great Ilkeston move ends with Malachi sweeping the ball home. 2-1 42 minutes

Comfortable win for Ilkeston but it may not have been so easy if Kel Akpobire had not been dismissed in the first half.
