Morecambe v Bromley Match Report
The match started evenly, with Morecambe dominating possession but struggling to break down Bromley's well-organised defence. The visitors took the lead in the 19th minute when Omar Sowunmi headed home from a Corey Whitely cross, catching Morecambe off guard.
Despite controlling the ball for much of the game, the Shrimps were unable to test Bromley goalkeeper Grant Smith, failing to register a single shot on target. Bromley doubled their advantage in the 84th minute after Michael Cheek converted a penalty, which effectively ended the contest.
Morecambe manager Derek Adams will be left to rue his side’s inability to turn possession into chances, while Bromley’s clinical edge and solid defence were decisive. Bromley are now 13th in the League Two, while Morecambe are sitting bottom of the table.

Pre-Match Predictions: Evaluated
- Morecambe to Win and Under 3.5 Goals – ❌ Incorrect. Morecambe failed to win or score, and Bromley’s two goals exceeded the bet’s conditions.
Bromley’s defensive strength and ability to exploit key moments proved decisive, while Morecambe’s lack of cutting edge in attack continues to hamper their season.
