BROMLEY, England (Interstat) — Nicke Kabamba’s 73rd-minute goal lifted Bromley to a 1-0 victory over Colchester United in a League Two match Saturday at Copperjax Community Stadium.

The decisive play was assisted by substitute Tom Flanagan. The result gave Bromley a winning start to its league campaign, while Colchester began with a defeat.

The match was a physical affair, producing five yellow cards. Colchester’s Tom Flanagan received the first booking in the 55th minute.

The outcome defied a pregame projection from Interstat, whose simulator had predicted a 2-2 draw, though its ELO system heavily favored Bromley to win.
