Josh Koroma on the scoresheet in draw with Gillingham

Sierra Leone International Josh Koroma scored as Chesterfield drew 1-1 with Gillingham after a second-half equalizer canceled out Josh Koroma’s first goal for the team in their League Two round four. 

Manager Paul Cook kept the same lineup from their 2-1 loss to Rotherham, while Gillingham’s Gareth Ainsworth made one change, replacing Will Goodwin with Lamin Sillah.

Chesterfield started strong, with Koroma and Lewis Gordon linking up well. Koroma scored after a good setup from Kyle McFadzean and Dilan Markanday. Markanday tested Gillingham’s goalkeeper, Oliver Wright, multiple times.

In the second half, Chesterfield maintained control, but McFadzean’s attempt went just over the crossbar. Gillingham equalised with a deflected shot from Ronan Hale.

Chesterfield brought in Tom Naylor, Fraser Bryden, and Louie Marsh to regain control. They pushed for a late winner, forcing several corners, but settled for a draw.

Next, Chesterfield will host Barnet, while Gillingham will travel to Rochdale.
