Swindon Town’s faint hopes of qualifying for the League Two play-offs were ended by Bromley’s 1-0 victory thanks to a late own goal from Will Wright.

In the 88th minute Danny Imray shot a strong, low ball into the area after nutmegging Tom Nichols on the byeline. The ball bounced off the unfortunate defender’s shin.

Just before halftime, Kabongo Tshimanga missed a penalty kick, and Town had sent all of its forwards on by then.

Tshimanga attempted a point-blank shot in the first few minutes, but Bromley goalie Grant Smith made a good save.

A few seconds later, Connor Ripley deftly blocked Imray’s brutal attempt before tipping a risky header from Omar Sowunmi over the bar from a corner.

Adam Mayor then brought down Paul Glatzel in the area and Tshimanga stepped up, but his weak effort was easily smothered by Smith.

After the break Sowunmi’s header hit the bar, while Smith tipped over a bouncing Tom Nichols effort.

Harry Smith’s diving header at the back post was clawed away by Smith before Swindon substitute Joe Westley hit a post.

But Imray ended the hosts’ play-off ambitions two minutes from time.
